#UNMSurgery and #NMACS are teaming up this year for one major meeting #SANDIA_NMACS2026 on August 28-29, 2026 at UNM HSC Domenici Center. Surgeons and researchers in NM are welcome to attend and share their research and clinical insight!
The countdown for SANDIA 2025 is on! On June 13, we will highlight innovative research from across UNM Health Sciences. We’re thrilled to feature Dr. Kenji Inaba as the Donald E. Fry Lectureship speaker. #SANDIA2025 #UNMSurgery #SurgicalResearch
Dr. Ross Clark, MD, MBA, FSVS from #UNMSurgery will present at #SANDIA2025 on carotid plaque microplastics and their link to clinical symptoms, with findings on stem cell and macrophage immune signaling.

At #SANDIA2025, Dr. Yalda Barlas will present findings from #UNMSurgery showing that a switch to CTA neck for pediatric BCVI screening reduced duplicate imaging and increased detection by over nine-fold. This protocol change represents a safer, more effective approach to trauma care.
Dr. Sangeetha Prabhakaran takes the podium at #SANDIA2025 to present groundbreaking #AI research predicting breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemo using core biopsy data. A step toward more precise, personalized treatment. #UNMSurgery
Jeremiah Langsfeld, BS, will speak at #SANDIA2025 on #OpioidStigma in patients with severe musculoskeletal injury. His research uncovers how stigma impacts pain care, medication use, and recovery—key insights for ortho and surgical teams.

At @ahascience.bsky.social ’s Vascular Discovery, #UNMSurgery made a strong showing: Dr. Ross Clark: Podium on microplastics & immune cell interactions Dr. Pierce Massie: Poster on carotid plaque metal content & clinical symptoms Dr. Deepali Kulkarni: Poster on age & ischemic myopathy in mice
Breaking: Dr. Ross Clark of #UNMSurgery presents at @AHAScience’s Vascular Discovery—sharing vascular surgery research showing 51x more microplastics in artery plaques of patients with strokes or vision loss. The role of #microplastics in vascular symptoms is currently unknown.
The UNM Dept of Surgery had a strong presence at #SWSC2025 (Apr 6-9) with 1 podium, 3 quickshots, 6 mini orals, and 6 posters presented by faculty, residents, and students.
We’re proud of their work advancing #SurgicalResearch at #UNMSurgery.
