Dr. Carlos Del Rio of Emory University School of Medicine said improved logistics, an increase in funding and expanded access should jumpstart vaccination rate.
But in 1962 she left Hollywood behind and became a nun.
Her story was also the subject of an Oscar-nominated short film on HBO, titled God Is the Bigger Elvis, released in 2012. Today, Hart receives hundreds of letters from people across the country seeking guidance on having a closer relationship with God.

When I finally get on the phone with Sanjay Gupta, M.D., in March, after he has rescheduled three times because he’s prepping for CNN’s first COVID-19 town hall, he’s relieved to be talking about something positive: brain science. “We’re seeing evidence that lifestyle changes can significantly improve brain health and even reverse brain disease,” he says. “That may not sound that significant, except that we really never thought of the brain that way until recently. We thought of the heart that way, and some other organs, but the brain was always this black box.”

ATLANTA Researchers in Georgia State University s School of Public Health and Emory University s School of Medicine have received a $600,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to help nursing homes implement practices to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and stop the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The grant allows the public health team from the School of Public Health s Center for Leadership in Disability (CLD) to collaborate with researchers from Emory University s School of Medicine and Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program to form Georgia s National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network (NNHCAN). Georgia State will be the hub for the Extension Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model for the NNHCAN project by recruiting nursing homes to take part in program and managing the ECHO training and data platform.
Can you tell us about your studies at Imperial?
After obtaining a medical degree from the University of Crete (Greece), I decided to move to the UK for postgraduate studies. I wanted to do a PhD in a Chemical Engineering department in order to delve into the field of tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field, working towards the development of artificial tissues for regenerative medicine purposes. It was regenerative medicine that fascinated me since medical school and influenced my decision to do a PhD in this area, to learn how the principles of engineering can be applied to artificial tissue development. I strongly believe that the regeneration of damaged tissues in the lab is the future of medicine.
