From a small island in The Bahamas to one of the nation’s highest honors, Dr. Colton Jones’ journey is one to celebrate.

The hematology-oncology fellow at the Long School of Medicine recently received the Order of Distinction, recognizing his contributions to cancer research and his representation of The Bahamas on the global stage.

As the first person from his home island of San Salvador to receive the honor, Dr. Jones is carrying his community’s support with him as he works to improve the future of cancer care.

Dementia is projected to triple globally by 2050, and experts note that early and precise diagnosis is essential to improve quality of life. However, a study by UT Health San Antonio researchers published in Nature Communications found that current diagnostic approaches often show inconsistent performance across multiple populations.

Scientists created a mathematical equation that weighs information proportionally to have predictions be more generalizable.

“Generalizing results to all populations was a clear problem we wanted to solve. There are two ways to solve this: Collect as much data as possible from all groups or adjust the AI system by developing mathematical models that can leverage existing data where there is insufficient data for some groups,” said the study’s principal investigator, Mohamad Habes, PhD, director of the Neuroimaging Core and associate professor in the Department of Radiology at the Long School of Medicine and the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Could GLP-1 medications have implications beyond weight management and metabolic health? Researchers are examining whether these therapies may also offer insights into longevity and healthy aging.

Elena Volpi, MD, director of The Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies at UT San Antonio, is among the experts weighing in on this evolving area of research.

Two Long School of Medicine faculty members are being recognized for innovations that advance biomedical research and improve patient care.

Robert A. Clark, MD, will receive the BioMedSA Innovation in Research Award for his contributions to translational science and research on immune disorders and Parkinson’s disease.

Donald H. Jenkins, MD, will receive the Innovation in Clinical Care Award for his work transforming trauma care through innovations that help deliver lifesaving blood transfusions to patients earlier.

Their work reflects the impact of collaboration across research, medicine and emergency care to improve health outcomes in South Texas and beyond.

What if a targeted form of magnetic brain stimulation could help people with combat-related PTSD respond to treatment more quickly?

That’s what researchers led by Peter Fox, MD, at the Long School of Medicine set out to explore. In a study involving active-duty military personnel and veterans, 85% of participants who received magnetic stimulation alongside exposure therapy experienced significant symptom relief by the end of the study, compared with 60% in the group that received a simulated treatment.

Fox recently spoke with Texas Public Radio’s Petrie Dish about the findings and their potential implications for PTSD care.

Today is Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day, a reminder of the importance of raising awareness and advancing research into invasive lobular breast cancer.

The Mays Cancer Center at UT Health San Antonio presented the Grand Rounds lecture called “Bridging Stress Biology & Metabolism in Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer,” featuring Rebecca B. Riggins, PhD, professor of oncology at Georgetown University Medical Center.

This annual guest lectureship, sponsored by the Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance LBCA, honors Deborah L. Mueller, MD, the late UT Health San Antonio surgeon, retired Air Force colonel, mentor and advocate for women in medicine who died from metastatic lobular breast cancer in 2023. Her commitment to patients, trainees and the advancement of medicine continues through this lectureship and its focus on better understanding invasive lobular carcinoma.

Long School of Medicine faculty joined researchers and neuroscience experts from around the world for Neurepiomics 2026, a gathering focused on advancing research into brain health and neurological disease.

Hosted by the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases, the event brought together experts in neurology, genetics, epidemiology, neuroimaging and bioinformatics to share research and explore new ways to better understand brain aging, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and other neurological conditions.

Through presentations, hands-on training and conversations with fellow researchers, attendees explored how advanced imaging and multi-omics approaches can help researchers better understand these diseases and identify new opportunities for earlier detection, prevention and treatment.

The event provided an opportunity for researchers to exchange ideas, build connections and explore new approaches to improving brain health: https://bit.ly/4hKaF00
