From helping premature babies breathe to developing hepatitis vaccines, Texas Biomedical Research Institute proves that bold vision creates lasting impact.
The CDC is transferring more than 160 macaques to a nonprofit sanctuary in Texas as part of its plan to reduce animal testing. It's a major step toward phasing out primate research at the federal agency.
Texas A&M University has joined the Genesis Mission, a groundbreaking national initiative using artificial intelligence to transform scientific discovery. Four university projects will help tackle critical challenges in energy, mineral security, and nuclear technology.
Scientists at Texas Children's Hospital discovered a promising way to treat Rett syndrome, a rare disorder affecting 1 in 10,000 girls. The breakthrough could help 65% of patients by boosting levels of a partially working protein in their brains.
A major university merger in San Antonio just created a powerhouse combining education, medical research, and economic development under one roof. With 43,000 students and a new research hospital, UT San Antonio is tackling the city's biggest challenges in healthcare, jobs, and opportunity.
Texas Christian University just received a $10 million gift to boost research opportunities that connect students across engineering, data science, and athletics. The Roach Foundation's investment will help TCU achieve top-tier research status while keeping students at the center of everything.
A UT Health San Antonio researcher just won a major grant to study whether therapeutic yoga can help Hispanic breast cancer survivors recover better than standard physical therapy. The two-year study could transform how we support cancer survivors after treatment ends.
After devastating 2025 floods killed 130 people in Central Texas, researchers are studying how disaster volunteers cope with emotional stress. The goal: develop practical ways to protect the mental health of people who step up during crises.
After a decade of complaints about discolored tap water, University of Texas researchers finally cracked the case for Austin's Colony residents. The good news: they found the problem and practical solutions.
Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a way to control gene editing with caffeine, offering a reversible and precise approach to treating cancer and diabetes. The breakthrough could one day let patients activate their treatment with a simple cup of coffee.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Scientists exploring a previously unstudied Texas cave found fossils covering the stream floor, revealing an unexpected mix of Ice Age animals that rewrites what we know about the region's ancient climate. The discovery offers a rare glimpse into a warmer, more forested Texas from 100,000 years ago.
Snorkeling scientists in a Texas underwater cave discovered fossils of giant tortoises and armored mammals that never lived in Central Texas before. The surprising find is rewriting what we know about Texas during the Ice Age.
A University of Texas researcher has invented a simple outdoor alarm that warns homeowners five minutes before floodwaters reach their home, giving families crucial time to escape. The device works without Wi-Fi, runs for 10 years on one battery, and could one day be as common as smoke detectors.
Scientists at Texas Children's Hospital discovered a promising way to treat Rett syndrome, a rare disorder that affects 1 in 10,000 girls and currently has no cure. The breakthrough could help 65% of patients by boosting levels of a partially working protein in their brains.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.
