Circadian rhythm regulates sleep, but researchers at UT Health San Antonio are investigating how this internal clock coordinates essential bodily functions throughout the day and night: Including blood pressure, heart rate and temperature.

Kevin Kornowski, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at the Long School of Medicine. His lab studies circadian rhythm, and as Texas Public Radio reports, he's currently working to understand the rhythm of fat metabolism.

If you find yourself drawn to an interest in exploring criminal court cases, the Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship program could help you expand your future career.

Forensic psychiatrists evaluate people involved in court cases and provide expert opinions such as whether someone understands the charges against them and can assist in their own defense. The UT San Antonio fellowship is a one-year, full-time program offering comprehensive training in criminal, civil, correctional, and military/veteran forensic psychiatry.

The Department of Emergency Medicine residency program received the largest share of a state of Texas grant to help train emergency care doctors.

Texas is investing $510,000 in UT Health San Antonio to attract emergency and trauma care doctors, as well as support patient care in Bexar County.

“That money goes toward resident salary support, education support, and enables us to really provide exceptional care for the patients,” Chris Gelabert, MD, director of the emergency medicine residency program, told KSAT 12 & KSAT.com.

Breast cancer research is advancing at UT Health San Antonio, from understanding the disease to improving life after treatment.

Amelie G. Ramirez, DrPH, MPH, is leading a two-year, $400,000 Susan G. Komen-funded study examining whether therapeutic yoga can improve quality of life, reduce fatigue, and enhance physical function among breast cancer survivors in South Texas.

By comparing therapeutic yoga with standard physical therapy, researchers hope to identify new, culturally responsive approaches to cancer survivorship and recovery.

This is one example of how researchers at UT Health San Antonio are working to advance breast cancer research and improve outcomes for patients and survivors.

A Long School of Medicine professor has been elected to the 2026 class of Fellows of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Babatunde “Kay” Oyajobi, MBBS, PhD, MBA, professor in the Department of Cell Systems and Anatomy and UT Distinguished Teaching Professor at UT San Antonio said he is deeply honored by this distinction.

“This recognition is profoundly meaningful to me. The ASBMR has been my scientific home since 1989, when I attended my first annual meeting in Montreal as a doctoral student. Throughout my career, I have benefited immensely from the generosity of mentors within the society,” Oyajobi said.

You don’t need to become a marathon runner to see cognitive benefits from exercise later in life, a new study found.

Researchers at UT Health San Antonio found that doing even some physical activity, or avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, while controlling blood sugar can result in slower cognitive decline.

“Our findings suggest that engaging in any level of physical activity and potentially maintaining optimal fasting blood glucose levels in midlife are associated with a significantly slower rate of cognitive decline in late life,” said Janette Vazquez, PhD, first author of the study and senior postdoctoral research fellow at the Glenn Biggs Institute.

On the battlefield, providing fast and efficient care for the wounded starts with a checklist meant to save lives. Now, a team of UT San Antonio clinicians, researchers and engineers has developed a new device aimed at improving one critical element: Respiratory management.

“We all think that we save lives in the hospital, but the reality is, the people that save the lives are the ones closest to the point of injury,” said Robert De Lorenzo, MD, MSCI, MSM, FACEP, vice chair of research in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Long School of Medicine.

Researchers at UT San Antonio are warning against the growing threat of antifungal resistance.

Antifungal resistance happens when fungal species develop the ability to survive treatments that once eliminated them. Along with clinical exposure to antifungal medications, scientists now recognize that environmental exposure can also add to resistance.

Nathan Wiederhold, director of the Fungus Testing Laboratory and professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Long School of Medicine, said the problem is becoming increasingly urgent as resistant fungi become more common around the world.

As resistant fungi emerge in the research, learn more about the three pathogens that are particularly concerning to scientists and clinicians: https://bit.ly/4qbL3vw
