Letter From Leadership

Welcome to the first edition of Discovery at UT Southwestern, a publication featuring our institution’s latest developments in basic science and clinical research.

UT Southwestern is renowned for its investigators, who work across the spectrum of biomedical research and clinical care to unravel the complexities of human biology. Their research is central to our mission to promote health and a healthy society that enables individuals to achieve their full potential.

These pages showcase the impactful work emerging from our laboratories and clinical practice. You will find a report on applications of artificial intelligence in biomedicine from the perspectives of basic researchers and clinical faculty alike. The latest advancements in regenerative medicine are shared by two UT Southwestern experts who are using an array of strategies, including harnessing stem cells for bone and muscle growth, to develop new therapies.

An article on the Dallas Heart Study illustrates how two decades of longitudinal data gathering helped lay the groundwork for precision medicine. Our Biochemistry leadership explains how transformative drug discovery is enabled through a collaborative environment in which chemists and biochemists work closely together.

We are inspired by the ingenuity of our faculty, postdoctoral fellows, students, and staff who work tirelessly to push the boundaries of what’s known in their fields. Their collaborative scientific approach is furthering discovery at UT Southwestern.
