Genetic basis focus of depression study Theodore Reich, M.D., the Samuel and Mae S. Ludwig Professor of Psychiatry and professor of genetics in the School of Medicine, is leading an international team of geneticists in an expanded study attempting to uncover the genetic basis of depression. Reich is the principal investigator for the St. Louis site of the 10-center study, which involves researchers in the United States and Europe. Washington University is the only center in the United States that is recruiting study participants. Originally hoping to recruit people from 120 families in which some members suffer from depression and others do not, Reich now hopes to identify about 240.

Kidney
transplantation therapy reduces risk of rejection
"These findings are important because avoiding acute rejection helps patients keep the graft longer and live longer," said Daniel C. Brennan, M.D., the study's principal investigator. Brennan is associate professor of medicine and director of transplant nephrology in the School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, which has one of the lowest rates of kidney transplant rejection in the world. Full story Medical school marrow donor drive May 9 In conjunction with the National Marrow Donor Program, the University is hosting a marrow donor recruitment drive. School of Medicine employees can register at the drive from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. May 9 in Great Rooms A & B of the Eric P. Newman Education Center, 320 S. Euclid Ave. Participants will provide a small sample of blood to allow their stem cells to be typed, a process that takes only 10-15 minutes. Those identified as a match with a patient needing a stem cell transplant will be called at a later date. Additional information about this drive, including a consent form that can be printed out and completed ahead of time, can be found at wupa.wustl.edu/marrow.
