UT Southwestern investigators are working diligently across the spectrum of biomedical research and clinical care to unravel the complexities of human biology. Their research is central to our mission. Read more in this edition of Discovery at UT Southwestern.
Beyond Human: How AI is Transforming Basic Science and Clinical Medicine
From uncovering secrets of cellular function to redefining cancer diagnosis and treatment, artificial intelligence research has widespread applications at UT Southwestern. Meanwhile, UT Southwestern’s Clinical Informatics Center is leveraging AI and big data to advance research, patient care, and training.
Among our key initiatives is an AI-powered real-time location system. This advanced system monitors nearly 1,000 tags daily, which are attached to patients and medical equipment. … By identifying bottlenecks and enabling adaptive scheduling, the initiative represents a quantum leap in mitigating clinical inefficiencies through AI.”
The Dallas Heart Study: Laying the Groundwork for Precision Medicine
The landmark study has resulted in 20 years of data and 230 papers in leading journals – but, more importantly, its detailed participant data documented the feasibility of precision medicine worldwide.
Collaboration Is Key to Biochemistry Department’s Drug Development Success
Thirty years ago, leadership in the Department of Biochemistry set out to build bridges of collaboration and communication between faculty members and to establish and grow five core facilities. Today, discoveries abound.
