Funded research helps Emory attract top professors and students, create jobs, increase the number of clinical trials and advance start-up projects. RESEARCH 'Potato gene' reveals how ancient Andeans adapted to starchy diet DNA analyses done by Emory geneticists show that ancient populations of the Peruvian highlands adapted to the introduction of agriculture and an extreme, high-altitude environment in ways distinct from other global populations. COMMUNITY Health sciences library opens 'Spirit Lives On' dementia awareness exhibit "The Spirit Lives On: Art and the Mind," a new permanent exhibit at the Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library, features art and photography by people with dementia and their caregivers from the Emory community.
