Can’t believe I’ve been directing summer research programs for 17 yrs. I’m still just as excited as I was in year one to create opportunities for students across the nation. We have a great curriculum for Summer 2026. Take a look at this year’s lineup of scientific speakers. ⬇️

[UTSW Science @UTSWScience]

A @TAMESTX 2026 Mary Beth Maddox Award winner, @Sorrell_Lab is uncovering how cancer cells use nutrients to fuel growth, paving the way for targeted treatments against hard-to-treat cancers. Learn more: https://t.co/eZ4wJDElNc #UTSWMeetTheMinds

[Gammon Lab @GammonLab]

Congrats everyone on the lab's new paper illustrating how bacterial effectors can be used as tools to reveal both broadly-acting and virus-specific host antiviral factors: https://t.co/TACrccQ8Ca

[Dr. Arnaldo Díaz @ADiaz_PhD]

We are set to begin the 2026 SURF and Amgen Scholars Program at @UTSWGradSchool @UTSWMedCenter tomorrow. I had the honor of welcoming students this evening, and we look forward to an exciting summer ahead. @RTPatUTSW @ASP_GPO

[Dr. Arnaldo Díaz @ADiaz_PhD]

Today, we gathered not only to celebrate the achievements of our @UTSWGradSchool graduates, but also the dedication, resilience, & sacrifices that led to this well-deserved milestone. We wish them continued success & endless opportunities ahead. Congrats to the Class of 2026 🎓!

Excited to share our latest paper, out today @CellCellPress. We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. (1/7)

[Muscle Cell News @musclecellnews]

Drs. @DJSiegwart, Eric N. Olson, and colleagues at @UTSWMedCenter identify optimized lipid nanoparticles for in vivo cardiac gene editing, enabling efficient mRNA delivery and dystrophin restoration in Duchenne muscular dystrophy models.
