I am enjoying the Rare Kidney Disease summit in Orlando.
While delivering the key note, it became evident that we came so far as a field including new FDA approved treatments. I am hopeful Nephrology will lean into brain health next and understand better how these two organ systems are connected with each other.

I’m incredibly proud of our @utmbhealth teams for once again earning national recognition from Vizient.
For the second consecutive year, UTMB Health was named a top performer for pediatric hospital services, making us the only academic medical center in Texas to earn this recognition. Our ambulatory and inpatient services were also recognized for their strong performance.
These achievements reflect the commitment our teams bring to delivering exceptional care every day. Congratulations to everyone whose work made this recognition possible.

Primary care transformation is not only possible but it’s arriving @utmbhealth, and it’s a topic for national dialogue.
I enjoyed sharing a panel with @VictorDzau @WestHealth Tim Lash, Ann Greiner and John Findley and @McKinsey Kana Enomoto. We covered public policy, life style medicine and the use of artificial intelligence to achieve a focus on brain and mental health - a true neck up check up.

I am excited to meet with my former mentee, Dr. Eunsil Hahm. Eunsil is by now a PI, funded by the NIH and a well-established immunologist. Nothing better than seeing the next generations succeed.

Welcome to UTMB !
Looking forward to what we can accomplish together.
UTMB is proud to have you, one of the world‘s most impactful physician-scientists, as part of our executive leadership team.
Yesterday marked the end of an extraordinary chapter: I have ended my tenure at @UTMDAnderson. I leave with immense gratitude for the colleagues and friends who shaped these years, and with deep pride in what we built together. I am most grateful to my lab mates who made coming to work everyday such a great pleasure!
Today, a new chapter begins at @UTMBHealth, where I will serve as Sr. Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer, and founding Executive Director of the UTMB Cancer Center. As for the @KalluriLab, we’re not going far. Just across the street to the @TXMedCenter TMC3 Helix Park.
I am profoundly grateful to @JochenReiser and to the UT System for their support of a new vision for cancer research and treatment at UTMB, and for giving me a chance to join a stellar team to build something exciting. Stay tuned!!

From the ocean floor to outer space, @UTMB_Aerospace is preparing physicians for medicine in some of the most extreme environments.
A new fellowship brings together undersea and hyperbaric medicine with aerospace medicine, two fields that explore how the human body responds to extraordinary physiological stress.
Set to begin in July 2027, the fellowship will prepare physicians to care for those working and exploring underwater and beyond our atmosphere.
