Woodworth, MD, FACS, chief of neurosurgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center and the Howard M. Eisenberg, MD Distinguished Professor of Neurosurgery and chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is advancing the treatment of glioblastoma, the most common and deadly primary brain cancer in adults. More than 14,000 Americans are diagnosed with glioblastoma each year. Patients typically survive only 12 to18 months after a diagnosis because the cancer quickly spreads throughout the brain.His research is funded by grants from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, both within the National Institutes of Health.Learn more: https://www.umaryland.edul/breakthroughs#CancerResearch #braincancer #nihresearch #NIH #NINDS #medicalbreakthrough

- 1:26Drilling Geothermal Wells for the new UM School of Social Work BuildingCrews have started the process of installing geothermal wells for the new University of Maryland School of Social Work building. All 42 geo-exchange wells have been drilled, piped, and grouted. The wells required 5 miles of boring and 10 miles of piping.These wells will provide energy efficient heating and cooling for the building, which is designed to meet LEED Platinum certification and net-zero emissions. The building is expected to open in late summer 2027.Sign up for updates and learn more about the project: https://www.umaryland.edu/designandconstruction/capital-projects/projects/school-of-social-work-building-project/#SocialWork #Construction #HigherEd #Baltimore
