Priority research areas
- Novel therapies and diagnostics
- Computational health and medicine
- Digital medicine
- Clinical, community and outcomes research
UT Medicine researchers advance new ways to detect disease and develop safer, more precise treatments.
From biomarkers that help identify disease earlier to biologics that target infectious threats and nuclear medicine that reveals what cannot be seen with conventional tools, researchers move beyond one-size-fits-all medicine to improve outcomes for patients.
Researchers at UT Medicine harness artificial intelligence and machine learning to study health data and improve care for people with chronic and complex conditions.
Through approaches such as digital twins and large-scale data analysis, physicians and scientists shape personalized treatments based on patients’ histories and risk factors while helping reduce unnecessary procedures.
UT Medicine researchers leverage the growing capabilities of robotics and digital technologies to reimagine how care is delivered and experienced.
Between robotic-assisted procedures and wearable biosensors that enable remote monitoring, experts work to make health care more efficient, accessible and precise.
By partnering with patients, clinicians and community organizations, UT Medicine researchers evaluate treatments, care models and interventions in real-world settings. This research helps ensure that advances in medicine and care delivery benefit all populations and communities.
