"Patients undergoing TAVR often carry a significant cardiometabolic burden, and these results suggest that targeting underlying risk factors with agents like tirzepatide could translate into meaningful clinical benefit,” said Dr. Ibrahim Mortada at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). “The reduction in serious cardiovascular events without an increase in ischemic or renal complications provides rationale for clinicians to seriously consider adjunctive metabolic therapy.”

As healthcare and artificial intelligence rapidly converge, UTMB President and UTMB Health System CEO Dr. Jochen Reiser is placing a bold bet on the “brain economy” as the next driver of innovation, workforce resilience, and patient care. Learn why investing in brain health and brain skills is central to the long-term vision of UTMB.

"Healthcare’s future will be defined less by volume and more by quality, value and patient experience. That reality demands new operating models, including AI-enabled care journeys that enhance every step of the hospital and clinic encounter from intake to follow-up." — UTMB President and CEO of the UTMB Health System Dr. Jochen Reiser

Dr. Gregory Gray from The University of Texas Medical Branch recently wrote in the Journal of Infectious Diseases that vaccinating dairy herds may be the single most important step America can take to get ahead of H5N1 avian influenza.

"Stress and burnout are all too common in today’s world. Many people are searching for reliable ways to improve their well-being. Researchers say the most effective strategies are surprisingly simple and backed by years of scientific evidence," writes Dr. Hasan Yasin, an integrative medicine physician at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).

In a guest column for The Daily News, Dr. Jarrel De Matas, an assistant professor at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) explains why readiness for the next generation of health professionals involves rethinking how they learn, process information, and are trained to make decisions in environments increasingly shaped by technology.

“Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease, even when blood sugar improves significantly,” says Randa Abdelmasih, MD, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of endocrinology and metabolism at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).

"We used to think of H5N1 as a bird problem in Asia. Now, it's clearly something bigger and here in our own backyard, and we need to respond accordingly," says Dr. Gregory Gray, a professor in the department of microbiology and immunology's division of infectious disease at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).

A team of scientists at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), led by Nikos Vasilakis, PhD, and Peter McCaffrey, MD, has developed a new computational pipeline that could dramatically accelerate the development of vaccines against a group of mosquito-borne viruses known as alphavirus.

Led by the Sealy Heart and Vascular Institute at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the long‑term study will become one of the largest and most inclusive cardiovascular research efforts in Texas.
