The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has selected two scientists from UT Southwestern Medical Center, Helen H. Hobbs, M.D., and Jonathan C. Cohen, Ph.D., to receive the 10th annual Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine for groundbreaking research in dyslipidemias and metabolic liver disease.

Research teams led by two UT Southwestern Medical Center faculty members have been selected to receive competitive awards from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s (HHMI) Emerging Pathogens Initiative (EPI).

The world’s top competitors in the 2026 Olympics, which continue through Feb. 22, may offer a valuable lesson to those seeking to improve their workouts or just to get more active. While these elite athletes are performing at a peak level on a global stage, it’s the work they put in behind the

UT Southwestern biochemist Zhijian “James” Chen, Ph.D., famously identified the cGAS enzyme pathway that alerts the human immune system to disease-causing invaders like viruses. Since then, researchers have found that cGAS signaling is an ancient, conserved defense strategy stretching from bacteria

A gene called Npas4, already known to play a key role in balancing excitatory and inhibitory inputs in brain cells, appears to also be a master timekeeper for the brain’s circadian clock, new research led by UT Southwestern scientists suggests.

UT Southwestern researchers have identified a molecular pathway responsible for the spread of glioblastoma to surrounding tissue in the brain, as well as an existing drug that curbed tumor growth in animal models.

One member of a large protein family that is known to stop the spread of bacterial infections by prompting infected human cells to self-destruct appears to kill the infectious bacteria instead.

Much like human beings, songbirds learn how to vocalize from their parents. Males imitate songs from their fathers and then sing to attract mates. Although the circuits that generate human speech are more complicated to decipher, the brains of songbirds offer a viable model for better understanding

A study led by UT Southwestern dermatologists suggests that a common inflammatory skin condition may stem from poorly regulated sex hormones.

Moderately ill patients hospitalized with COVID-19 have better chances of survival if treated with therapeutic-dose anticoagulation, according to an international study involving 121 sites, including UT Southwestern Medical Center.
