(Press-News.org) CLEVELAND -- University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center is one of the most recognizable hospitals among doctors in the U.S. and around the world, according to an annual survey.
UH Cleveland Medical Center was ranked eighth in the U.S. and 16th globally in a survey of the strongest Academic Medical Center brands, according to Brand Finance, a London-based brand valuation consultancy.
“This ranking is a reflection of all we do at University Hospitals to provide compassionate care for patients, work to find the next generation of therapies and treatments, invest in our facilities and, most of all, listen to our caregivers,” said UH CEO Cliff A. Megerian, MD, FACS, Jane and Henry Meyer Chief Executive Officer, Distinguished Chair. “We do these things to support our mission and serve our community.”
The study surveyed more than 2,500 healthcare professionals and evaluated 24 metrics for Academic Medical Centers across 30 countries. Topics covered included patient treatment, medical research, training and education.
Building a strong brand is essential to attracting outstanding doctors, student applicants, prominent research staff, garnering support from donors, and building a network of partners, said Brand Finance CEO David Haigh.
“Among the world’s top Academic Medical Centers, the stakeholder audience expands beyond the local area as influence reaches around the world – although many patients may still be local, the research and procedures developed will be relevant globally, and top medical staff will travel and study to bring the reputation and brand to wider audiences,” Haigh said.
UH Cleveland Medical Center is affiliated with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Northeast Ohio Medical University, the Technion Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Oxford – whose medical center was recognized as second overall in the Brand Finance survey.
“These rankings reflect the deliberate way we have built partnerships around the world to be on the forefront of discovery research that drives the development of new cures,” said Daniel Simon, MD, UH President, Academic & External Affairs and Chief Scientific Officer, Ernie and Patti Novak Distinguished Chair.
UH Cleveland Medical Center President Stathis Antoniades, MPH, FABC, said: “UH Cleveland Medical Center serves as the Academic Medical Center for our system, where we focus on bringing together the best from our research, education and clinical programs to deliver the highest quality and most compassionate care to our patients. While this type of recognition is not what drives what we do, it is gratifying that healthcare professionals from a broad range of hospitals and practice areas recognize UH across the country and around the world as a leading Academic Medical Center.”

Biochar: bridging a gap in carbon removal strategies
As the world works to meet net-zero carbon goals, a new study offers a critical reminder: precision matters. The researchers suggest refining how we assess a natural carbon storage strategy to ensure the technology lives up to its potential as a climate change solution.
Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide removal. However, a new study by Stanford researchers highlights a critical issue: current methods for assessing biochar's carbon storage potential may significantly undervalue its true ...
A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, published Jan. 29 in Nature Communications, reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other drugs.
Many malignant cancers overexpress a protein called P-cadherin, which is embedded in the cell membrane. Because cancer cells have a lot of P-cadherin sticking out of their surface, the protein has been targeted for drug development.
Monoclonal antibodies against P-cadherin can carry a drug payload to the cancer cells. It has not been clear, though, exactly how the antibodies attach to P-cadherin ...

The first participants in an international clinical trial aimed at preventing Alzheimer’s disease in young adults at high risk of the disease have been enrolled. The trial, led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, aims to determine whether stopping the early molecular changes that lead to symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease can prevent the disease from ever taking hold. The study is enrolling people as young as 18 who have few or no detectable Alzheimer’s-related molecular changes in their brains, up to 25 years before the expected onset ...
Ever notice that batteries in electronics don't last as long as they did when they were brand new?
An international research team led by The University of Texas at Austin took on this well-known battery challenge, called degradation, with a twist. They're focusing their work on real-world technology that many of us use daily: wireless earbuds. They deployed x-ray, infrared, and other imaging technologies to understand the complexities of all the technology packed in these tiny devices and learn why their battery lives erode over time.
