Basic research led to a better antiviral drug to combat influenza

Leticia Nogueira talks about being the Director of Health Services for the American Cancer Society, what her research focuses on, and what she hopes to accomplish through her work.

Bryan Davies of The University of Texas at Austin and a team have developed a system to identify new options for fighting bacteria.

A set of medical tests called liquid biopsies could rapidly detect the presence of cancers, infectious diseases and other conditions from only a small blood sample.

Sap-sucking pests could deliver gene therapy to plants under attack from diseases, droughts or floods

The anthrax antitoxin obiltoxaximab received approval March 21 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

UT Austin scientists are doing research, which uses novel single-molecule imaging techniques partially developed by Finkelstein, and could lead to a better understanding of how cancerous cells repair their DNA.

A research team led by Lauren Ehrlich of the Department of Molecular Biosciences has discovered that a type of cancer found primarily in children can grow only when signaled to do so by other nearby cells that are noncancerous.

In a discovery from the lab of Jessie Zhang that holds promise for future drug development, scientists have detected for the first time how nature performs an impressive trick to produce key chemicals similar to those in drugs that fight malaria, bacterial infections and cancer.

Researchers at UT Austin discovered the assembly instructions for nearly 1,000 protein complexes shared by most kinds of animals.
