UNT Health Institute for Translational Research

We focus on research that will lead to precision medicine for brain disease. We house HABS-HD, one of the largest studies for Alzheimer's worldwide.

🧠💜🦋This June, join us in prioritizing your brain health and supporting the science that moves us forward. At ITR, we’re raising awareness about the importance of protecting your own brain health and advancing the research that brings us closer to better prevention, earlier detection, and precision health to the individual and our communities!

Share this post and make the Forget Me Not Appeal unmissable 💙

We know that every Forget Me Not tells a story, and everyone has their own personal reason for wearing it. But too often, our stories go untold.

But when millions of us wear it, people have to listen.

So today, we want as many people as possible to join in and tell us why you wear your badge, and what it means to you.

Whether you wear it in honour of a loved one, for vital support services, or to fund research – share your photos, tell your story, and make sure to tag us and use the hashtag #ForgetMeNotAppeal.

Let’s speak up for everyone affected by dementia and show the world we stand together in hope that we can beat it.

Every Forget Me Not tells a story.

Tell us yours.

People with Down syndrome can live long, healthy, and meaningful lives. But this only happens when health care works well at every stage of life.

A pair of Review papers from @LancetChildAdol & @LancetLongevity explore how we can strengthen health-care pathways for people with Down syndrome.

Is a Veteran in your life hesitant about reaching out for support?

Sometimes, hearing from someone who has been there makes all the difference.

Hear from Veterans about what encouraged them to seek care. https://t.co/sw9D9dHNYz

UNT Health’s first in-person Research Appreciation Day since the pandemic was one to remember! Student from universities across North Texas joined our campus to present their research and celebrate innovation. 🔬

Congrats to all of our participants! https://t.co/vpS0b7ekpl

[Veterans Affairs @DeptVetAffairs]

Feeling on edge? Drinking more than you want? Feeling disconnected from loved ones?

You are not alone.

This Mental Health Month, hear Veterans describe the signs that helped them realize it was time to reach out for mental health care.

This animation shows blood flow in a patient with a grade IV glioblastoma. Using a 7T MRI technique called arterial spin labeling, we can see areas of uneven blood supply within the tumor. Regions with higher blood flow likely indicate faster-growing cancer.

🧠🗣️It was a pleasure to speak at the AD/PD conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. Without broader biomarkers across populations, precision medicine cannot truly become precise.
