Proud to join the @TexasInnoCenter Biodesign program! Excited to collaborate with physicians, scientists, and engineers to address unmet clinical needs and develop new technologies. Looking forward to bridging the OR, the lab, and innovation ecosystem. @UTAustin @DellMedSchool

A big thank you to @UTAustin Associate Professor of Molecular Biosciences in the @TexasScience, Dan Dickinson for joining us to share his groundbreaking research on cell polarity — exploring how it’s regulated within tissues and evolves over time.

It’s a great time to nominate someone!

Magnets that think? Texas Engineers are pushing the boundaries of computing by developing artificial neurons made of magnetic materials 🧲 Swipe through and tap to learn how these neurons can also keep working for a long time without losing efficiency, a major challenge.

Jennifer Barton (Arizona State) and Tania Betancourt @TaniaBetanc1 (Texas State) are two @UTBiomedical PhD graduates who were elected Senior Fellows of the @AcadofInventors (National Academy of Inventors) this week. Congratulations! @CockrellSchool

Horns Up to #TexasBME Professor @cosgriffhernan on her latest achievement! She joins a distinguished network of 715 Senior Members affiliated with @AcadofInventors Member Institutions worldwide

AIMBE is looking for biomedical researchers to share how recent policies have disrupted their grants/work: aimbe.wufoo.com/forms/qs9tsin1… Your personal anecdotes help us convey to Members of Congress the devastating impact of these changes. Your responses can remain anonymous.
