The University of Texas System

The University of Texas System Improving the lives of Texans and beyond through education, research and health care.

For more than 140 years, The University of Texas System has improved lives through education, health care and research. With an enrollment of more than 256,000 students at academic and health institutions across the state and an operating budget of $30.9 billion, the UT System is one of the largest public university systems in the nation and the world. UT institutions produce more than 66,000 grad

uates annually, including over one-third of the state’s undergraduate degrees and about 63% of its medical degrees. The UT System is also one of the largest employers in Texas, with more than 160,000 faculty, health care professionals, researchers, support staff and student workers.

The University of Texas at Austin’s Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk is strengthening young students’ literacy across the Permian Basin, thanks to the Permian Strategic Partnership. 📚

As part of the new Permian Literacy Initiative, the MCPER’s researchers and coaches will engage directly with teachers and school leaders to build stronger classroom instruction, improving early childhood literacy for over 2,900 students.

The PSP is launching the Permian Literacy Initiative, a multiyear pilot program to strengthen early literacy reading instruction.

Sometimes, 1+1=10. When UTSA and UT Health San Antonio merged a year ago, it became the third-largest public research university in Texas overnight. UTSA - The University of Texas at San Antonio continues to ascend in every way — from education and healthcare, to research and innovation — at the heart of the Alamo city.

One year ago, UTSA and UT Health Science Center at San Antonio set out to achieve more — TOGETHER!

Today, we've emerged as a 44,000-student powerhouse—the third-largest public research university in Texas—with more than $521 million in annual research activity and the most comprehensive academic health center and health system in Texas, serving more than 2.8 million patient visits each year.

Changing the future of brain health treatment. 🧠

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have uncovered abnormal activity across multiple regions of the brain, offering deeper insight into Parkinson’s. By understanding how activity across brain regions interacts to cause symptoms and how therapies affect these brain networks, researchers hope to develop more precise deep brain simulation treatments.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center studying Parkinson’s disease have discovered a previously unrecognized sequence of abnormal activity across multiple regions of the brain, providing a new level of understanding that could improve treatment options.

Community care starts with healthy families. 👩‍🍼

UTMB Health is bringing expanded nutritional services to women, infants, and children across Southeast Texas. With funding from the Department of Agriculture, UTMB’s 19 WIC clinics will support women and children’s health through nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and healthy food resources.

UTMB Health secured a record $10.3 million in USDA funding for its WIC program, nearly $1 million more than last year. The funding will expand nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and healthy food resources across Southeast Texas.

What happens when cancer resists treatment? 🔬

A The University of Texas at Austin study found that dormant pancreatic cancer cells can interfere with the body’s immune responses and limit the effectiveness of immunotherapy. These findings point to new strategies for overcoming resistance and improving future treatments.

Targeting a signal released by dormant cancer cells could help overcome resistance to immunotherapy and improve cellular therapies for pancreatic cancer.

The University of Texas at Arlington is changing the pace of stem cell research. 🧬

An award-winning technique developed by UT Arlington researchers cuts down stem cell simulations from taking months — and sometimes years — to just over an hour. This new simulation process accelerates research without drawn-out laboratory experiments and paves the way for faster discoveries in tissue repair and regeneration.

Cancer cells need fuel to survive. What happens when that system is pushed to its limit? 🧬

researchers developed an experimental drug that tricks cancer cells into burning more sugar while blocking their backup fuel source. Unable to meet their energy demands, many of the cancer cells died from the resulting metabolic stress.

The findings point to a promising new strategy for targeting cancer metabolism and improving future treatments. 🔬

Cancer cells have a voracious appetite for sugar-using it to fuel their rapid growth. This is why many scientists have tried to develop drugs that block cancer cells' metabolism by cutting off their sugar supply.
