Hepatocellular carcinoma - a common type of liver cancer - is the focus of research for David Hsieh, M.D., Assistant Professor at @UTSWMedCenter. His latest clinical trial findings are now published in @NatureComms. Learn more: go.nature.com/3IBqdEb #LiverCancer #Research
Congrats to Huabin Zhou, Ph.D., a postdoc in the Rosen Lab, on receiving the 2025 Brown-Goldstein Award! His research on biomolecular condensates and chromatin structure is advancing our understanding of genome organization. Learn more: bit.ly/4lGmxzm
(2/2) “My lab is interested in the photoreceptor cells, which first sense light and then kick off the signaling cascade. If you lose any portion of these, you lose visual response. We want to be able to replace these cells or find a way to keep them around.” -@WertLaboratory
(1/2) Welcome to another #OpenMic, where we magnify the work of #UTSouthwestern's brilliant researchers. This month, please welcome Katherine Wert, Ph.D., whose work focuses on the retina, or the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. @WertLaboratory
Congratulations Seungwon (Sebastian) Choi, Ph.D., recipient of a Klingenstein Fellowship Award in Neuroscience for the project, "Unraveling the Cancer-Neuron Crosstalk: Pathological Interactions Between Cancer and Pain Circuits." @SSebastianChoi schoilab.org
MSMDS is a rare, life-threatening disease that can affect the heart, lungs & more from birth. Researchers led by Eric Olson, Ph.D., used gene editing in models to block symptoms, bringing us closer to future therapies for smooth muscle diseases. bit.ly/44aXcWY #utswmed
Join Chad Dashnaw, Ph.D., to learn about the latest from @UTSWMedCenter on protein #engineering. @FASEBorg
Make sure to find @SimranR61580474 presenting poster 47 at today's poster session to learn about @UTSWMedCenter research on chaperone proteins! @FASEBorg
@UTSWScience ranked No. 2 in the world for Endocrinology and Metabolism research in annual @USNewsHealth Best Global Universities rankings. UTSW is also once again No. 3 for published research by Nature Index. bit.ly/4nmMeX8
Congratulations to Andrea Ballabio, M.D., founder and former director @Tigem_Telethon on being awarded the Beth Levine, M.D. Prize in Autophagy Research from @UTSWMedCenter in recognition of his research into mechanisms underlying genetic diseases. bit.ly/3HX1xW8 #utsw
Congenital birth defects cause lifelong challenges for many families. Spend a day inside the @cleaverlab, where Ondine Cleaver, Ph.D., and her team study how cells decide their fate during development—a crucial key to understanding these defects. More at: bit.ly/3FrBWnl
Science at #UTSW goes deep – down to the nucleic level. Research led by @DJSiegwart has unlocked synthetic lipid nanoparticles as delivery vehicles for genetic medicines. Explore more in the latest edition of #DiscoveryAtUTSW. bit.ly/43AO6Ej
Check out the latest edition of Science in 60+ featuring @utswbme Chair, @SamuelAchilefu.
Check out Medical Vision Goggles, which help surgeons eliminate all cancer cells after tumor removal. Inventor @SamuelAchilefu, Ph.D., Chair of @utswbme, discusses the goggles and his goal of making them available to surgeons worldwide. bit.ly/3F6qAFg #UTSWScience
Congratulations to Elizabeth Chen of the @UTSWMedCenter who has been elected by ASCB members to serve as President of #ASCB in 2027. She will first serve as President-Elect on the ASCB Executive Committee beginning in 2026. ascb.org/society-news/e… #CellBiology
Yesterday, #UTSWOrtho had a grand rounds featuring a lecture from our guest, Nigel Rossiter, M.D. Dr. Rossiter talked about the global orthopaedic trauma perspective as well as tips for trainees, residents, and young attendees. @DrAntoniaChen #utsouthwestern
I’m truly grateful to receive the Fred Baskin Young Investigator Award from @UTSWMedCenter. Thank you, @UTSWNeurology for this meaningful recognition; it inspires me to continue advancing my commitment to clinical research in Movement and Autonomic Disorders.
Find @UTSWMedCenter in the #AACR25 exhibit hall! Talk to our faulty at booth #3701 about the research training opportunities on our campus. bit.ly/4fdboSF
Join @UTSWMedCenter researchers at poster 4704/2 to hear about new #PrecisionMedicine research for renal cell carcinoma, After the talk, find us at booth #3701 to learn more about our programs in Dallas! #AACR25
New research from @UTSWMedCenter shows that single-cell RNA sequencing could help researchers monitor breast cancer cells for drug resistance and develop targeted therapies to prevent recurrence. Find us at #AACR25 at booth #3701 to learn more about our research!
