As Texas expands its role in the nuclear energy sector, engineering researchers at @UTAustin are developming next generation safety methods — including improved seismic hazard assessment for nuclear sites and advanced sensing technologies for long-term monitoring of spent fuel storage systems.
Nuclear innovation isn't just about energy.
From next-generation reactors to advanced technologies for fuel storage systems, researchers at the @CockrellSchool are rethinking nuclear safety technology from the ground up: https://t.co/3hdKdqc1UY
The construction of our new Sugar Land location is now halfway complete!
The new, larger campus will house many clinical services, including a new ambulatory surgery center and expanded modalities for diagnostic imaging, radiation oncology, and outpatient procedural services. #EndCancer
The Lee Center will focus on advancing research into the primary causes of liver disease and developing treatments to improve patient survival. We're indebted to The new Center is named after William M. Lee, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Internal Medicine, and his wife, Liza Lee, M.A., a longtime Dallas educator.
A bold new chapter in liver disease care begins at #UTSW. The Will and Liza Lee Center for Liver Disease and Transplant Research will advance groundbreaking discoveries, expand treatment options, and improve patient outcomes across Texas and beyond. https://t.co/LISCseuk09
Yesterday, UTMB welcomed senior staff from the office of @LtGovTX! From our Biocontainment Care Unit (BCU) to our newly launched Age-Tech Instrumented Smart Home, the UTMB community shared what makes our institution unique and impactful for all Texans. Thank you for visiting.
From the lab to the clinic in real time. At @UTSA, scientists are studying how a single mutation allows cancer cells to outmaneuver therapy. Just a few buildings away, physicians are using that knowledge to shape clinical trials and treatment. Together, these teams are accelerating the path from discovery to care, while expanding access to advanced cancer treatments and clinical trials for patients across South Texas. https://t.co/ix7EInKjpV

In response to the Texas teacher shortage, @UTTyler is strengthening educator education. 👩🏫💪 A new partnership with Kilgore Independent School District offers discounted tuition rates for district employees wanting to pursue graduate education. “We’re excited to welcome Kilgore ISD as the newest member of our education partnership network,” says UT Tyler President Julie Philley. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting educators and building a stronger future for East Texas.” https://t.co/B4MirNWqMg
By 2032, there wil be over 40 billion connected digital devices worldwide. Increasingly, the information they contain is being used to solve crimes. 📱⌚️🔍 @UTSA is leading a national initiative to ensure that law enforcement officers have the skills they need to extract evidence from everything from Ring doorbells to robotic vacuums. https://t.co/IG3JwPdLsn
#acrosstheUTSystem, researchers are uncovering the inner workings of cancers — insights that will help enhance treatments and save lives. Fascinating work going on here at @UTSWMedCenter ⬇️⬇️⬇️
New insight into ovarian cancer: Tumor cells can recruit immune-suppressing cells through stress hormone signaling. Blocking that signal may help the immune system fight back. Discover how this finding could shape the future of ovarian cancer care. https://t.co/980AnvJK7j
After Hurricane Harvey, Pauline Filipek, MD, helped launch a Disaster Readiness EXPO designed to make emergency preparedness more inclusive for those living with autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities. The event helped build confidence, familiarity & safety during emergencies
🏗️ A major milestone for UTA West: Construction is underway on the first building of UTA’s new campus in west Fort Worth, bringing expanded access to higher education and workforce development opportunities to one of North Texas’ fastest-growing regions.
Bulky gloves and pressurized suits could make it challenging for astronauts to maneuver a tool cart on the moon. 🌑🛒🧤 These @UT_dallas students aim to make the job easier and safer by redesigning the cart’s handle. In June, they will join teams from 12 other U.S. universities that were invited to present designs to @NASA. Student research. Real world impact. 🧡💚
Six @UTDJonsson engineering students will present their prototype in June at @NASA’s Johnson Space Center as part of the space agency’s Micro-g Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design Teams project https://t.co/yW5VZF0kBK
Thanks to @UTMBPOLICE for preparing and serving burgers to our students for National Hamburger Day, hosted with @UTMBStudentLife!
Events like these help students get to know our officers and the services they provide to keep our campus safe and secure.
The #ASCO26 Annual Meeting kicks off tomorrow. Our experts will share pioneering research and join peers to discuss the latest in cancer care.
Explore presentation highlights, connect with us at our booth, and learn about career opportunities.
