Longevity: Ensuring a Life Well Lived

Millions of Americans suffer from one or more chronic health conditions. They go by many names—diabetes, asthma, spinal cord injury, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease. But they share the potential to sap the spirit and rob their victims of the ability to live life to its fullest. And they will only grow in importance as our population ages.

Fortunately, UTMB researchers are hot on the trail of preventive measures and treatments that will offer us all the hope of vitality and longevity. A key to our success in these efforts will be our ability to quickly and effectively translate research breakthroughs into viable treatments for those who are suffering right now. In doing so, UTMB will take the lead not only in adding years to our lives, but life to our years.

Your support can help bolster existing programs for seniors and make it possible for UTMB to develop novel programs that foster health of mind, body and spirit. It can fund fellowships, professorships and chairs, enhancing our ability to attract visionary faculty who can see—and will help create—a brighter tomorrow for those who are suffering from these chronic diseases today. Your gift can help make our planned Translational Research Building a reality, where researchers and clinicians will work together to achieve the rapid results that are so desperately needed.
