Utah SPARC

It's that time again! SPARC's annual newsletter:

✨new year, new data✨ We were so excited to secure more MarketScan data last year, including 2020 COVID-19 data.

Top publishers were @jimhotalingmd @JoeTonnaMD @BenjaminSBrooke @OncONeil and @JessCohanMD

Our SPARC Core Faculty had so many accomplishments last year. We wanted to celebrate just a few!🍾

We were thrilled to add three new SPARC Core Faculty to our ranks last year — @annaibele @callie_mt & Joanna Grudziak. Huge congrats to @zkastenberg @BenjaminSBrooke & @jimhotalingmd on their new grant awards.

Thanks to our faculty and staff for an amazing year! Learn more about SPARC and how to collaborate with us on our webpage: medicine.utah.edu/surgery/resear…
