A @DellMedSchool fetal care center will expand its capacity and introduce a new fellowship program, which comes after the implementation of a new center head in March. The expansion will include bringing more innovative medical interventions, expanding research and doubling the number of employees at the center.

UT Austin is a place where ideas that start in a dorm room turn into so much more — powered by talent, research, and a willingness to build. That’s the Austin story. And that’s the Michael Dell and Dell Technologies story.

It’s also a key part of why Michael and Susan Dell are making a $750 million commitment to @UTAustin, bringing their lifetime giving to The University of Texas to more than $1 billion.

This new investment will support the establishment of the new UT Dell Campus for Advanced Research and the new UT Dell Medical Center to advance human health. It will also provide significant support for undergraduate student scholarships, student housing and UT’s Texas Advanced Computing Center, one of the leading supercomputing research centers in the nation.

This is a direct investment in how people live — helping more people get better care sooner, opening pathways for students into high-demand fields like science, AI, and health, and contributing to a stronger, more dynamic economy and a thriving life sciences hub in Austin.
