A UTMB multidisciplinary research team collaborated on a study to determine the safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for transplant recipients.

In September, UTMB was visited by Medical Illustrator Samantha Bond, who discussed the utilization of Virtual Reality (VR) in medical education, research, and clinical practice.

Drs. El Ayadi and Jay plan to examine the safety of topically-applied, multi-dosed RBS over the wound healing periods of inflammation and cellular proliferation, determine the efficacy of RBS in a pre-clinical model of wound healing, and elucidate a spatiotemporal immune activation signature over wound healing time in a large animal model of burn and full-thickness cutaneous trauma.

Gal Levy, MD, a surgeon in UTMB’s Division of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, has seen terrific success with the LINX Reflux Management System, which uses a magnetic augmentation device that acts as a reflux barrier. She says the vast majority of patients treated with LINX experience instant relief.
