Collaboration that drives discovery.

This past June, investigators, trainees and collaborators from across the Border Health Research Cohort (BHRC) partner institutions gathered at the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute in Nashville, Tennessee, for the 2026 BHRC In-Person Study Investigator Meeting.

Over two days, attendees shared scientific progress, explored emerging research opportunities and strengthened partnerships advancing precision health research.

From multi-omics and cardiometabolic disease to kidney health, AI and machine learning, local ancestry, ophthalmology and aging research, the meeting highlighted the power of cross-institutional collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the insightful discussions and shared commitment to advancing precision health research.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from UTHealth Houston School of Public Health! ❤️🤍💙

Public health is rooted in service, prevention, and the well-being of all. We are proud of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners who are making a positive impact across Texas and beyond.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and happy Independence Day!

This month UTHealth Houston School of Public Health and the D. Bradley McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics partnered to host a STEM Immersion High School Camp at the UT Center at Laredo.

Students explored how public health, biomedical informatics, artificial intelligence, and data science are transforming the future of healthcare through interactive activities, hands-on learning, and conversations with faculty and professionals.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible and to the students whose curiosity, enthusiasm, and innovative thinking made the week a success. We look forward to seeing where your STEM journey takes you!
