The center was established in 2021 as a developmental center in partnership with UTHealth Houston, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
Researchers affiliated with UTHealth Houston, competing under the team name Novamab AI, placed among the top five teams in the international AIntibody Challenge, a blinded, prospective benchmark published in Nature Biotechnology .
New research from UTHealth Houston found firefighters experience measurable biological changes in their blood and urine within 24 hours of fighting a fire–changes that may help identify early cancer risk, the leading cause of death among firefighters.
August's Paper of the Month highlights research by student Mo-Fan (Elena) Huang and collaborators at UT MD Anderson UTHealth Houston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, who combined artificial intelligence and stem cell biology to develop an optimized approach to producing mature, functional liver cells while identifying key genetic regulators that drive liver development. Published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry , the study could improve disease modeling, drug testing, and regenerat
Researchers have created the most complete genetic profile of the brown rat to date, according to a UTHealth Houston-led team, paving the way for scientists to more accurately research the genetic links to conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
Clinicians at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry have published new research examining changes in adverse event reports associated with oral appliances used to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
Oluwabunmi “Bunmi” Tokede, BDS, MPH, DMSc, associate professor at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry, has been awarded a five-year, $3.54 million R01 grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop OpenMouth, an artificial intelligence-powered research platform designed to make large-scale dental research more accessible to investigators across the profession.
Teenagers who spent six or more hours a day on social media were twice as likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and three times as likely to report suicidal ideation than those who spent less than an hour on social media each day, according to researchers at UTHealth Houston.
Women who experience pregnancy complications face an increased risk of developing peripheral artery disease later in life, according to a new UTHealth Houston study.
The project, selected through NASA’s Water Quality Applications program, will leverage satellite-based Earth observations and advanced hydrologic modeling to help drinking water utilities better anticipate and respond to changing water quality conditions in communities along the U.S.-Mexico border.
