We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Galveston to move the needle on everything related to kidney clinical trials.

It was an honor to welcome @utsystem Regent Nolan Perez to UTMB today for a visit across our Clear Lake, League City and Galveston campuses.

Joined by Drs. Marlo Silva, William Newman and Gabriela Bedolla, along with Maria Cisneros of Texas Digestive Specialists (@TXDigestiveCare), Regent Perez had the opportunity to experience firsthand the breadth of clinical services and expertise across our health system.

From labor and delivery suites and dialysis services to post-operative care and emergency medicine, the visit offered a closer look at the people and operations that make exceptional patient care possible. I was especially pleased that Regent Perez had the opportunity to engage directly with our physicians, nurses and staff whose dedication is central to everything we do.

I am incredibly proud of our teams and the work taking place across UTMB Health as we continue to strengthen access to high-quality healthcare throughout our region.

My sincere thanks to Regent Perez and our guests from Texas Digestive Specialists for spending the day with us.

@Anis__Ismail presented our work at #AHA26 today. In MESA adults with hs-CRP ≥2 mg/L, the group JUPITER enrolled, suPAR separated who benefited from a statin. Top third: estimated 10-year risk of heart attack, stroke or CV death 19.7% without a statin, 11.7% with one.

Wonderful spending time together with Drs. James Rothman and his wife Joy Hirsch.

UTMB had the honor of hosting a distinguished guest, Nobel Laureate Dr. James E. Rothman, for a special lecture on Thursday, 10/29. Thanks to @bmb_utmb for hosting him. We were thrilled for the opportunity to hear from one of the world's most renowned biochemists/cell biologists.

An evening filled with smiles, laughter and a little Halloween fun!

Members of our UTMB leadership team and I had a wonderful time visiting the Ronald McDonald House of Galveston for a special evening with children and their families.

We enjoyed dinner together, played games and shared healthy treats ahead of this weekend’s festivities.
It was heartwarming to see so many bright smiles and spend time with these incredible children and their families. Moments like these remind us that caring for our patients extends far beyond the walls of our hospitals.

Thank you to the Ronald McDonald House team and families for welcoming us and allowing us to be part of such a special evening!

A landmark day! UTMB and community partners gathered yesterday to celebrate the new @utmb_spph Department of Aerospace and Exploration Medicine! Dr. J.D. Polk, NASA's Chief Health and Medical Officer, presented an inspiring lecture before the official department ribbon-cutting.

When you’re scheduled to give a talk on APRIL/BAFF & IgAN biomarkers 24 hours after a #KidneyWk plenary session with 3 IgAN late-breakers (!!!)….you are up all night making brand new slides 🙈

Totally worth it when you walk in to see a packed room of colleagues (who stayed long after lunch to engage in discussions with us!!)

🙏🏼@ASNKidney for having as part of a fantastic session!

When you are watching a new sci-fi movie in the plane about an extraterrestrial fungus….. and it wants it to be safely stored in the @utmbhealth GNL 😀

In 2008, our lab presented the first evidence that uPAR regulates the kidney filtration barrier https://t.co/ajxoqevXMJ
Numerous studies from our lab and others followed.
Tomorrow @ASNKidney, we will see what happens when antibody WAL0921 is given to humans blocking (s)uPAR in kidney disease.

🧠 Could a brain enzyme help preserve memory with age?
A new Nature Neuroscience study links PLA2G2F to reduced inflammation and better memory in ageing mice, highlighting brain lipid metabolism as a potential avenue for protecting cognitive health.
Human evidence remains preliminary.
