Imagine a future where medicine can be delivered directly to the brain to treat Alzheimer’s, dementia and brain injuries. 🧠 That’s exactly what researchers at Texas A&M are working on.

Dr. Peter Davies from Texas A&M Institute of Biosciences and Technology (IBT), Dr. Wenshe Liu from Texas A&M Chemistry and Dr. Vicente Rubio—an IBT post-doctoral fellow—are using a mix of artificial intelligence and chemistry to design special synthetic peptides that transport therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier to treat conditions in the brain.

This cutting-edge work is supported by a Texas A&M Health Dementia and Alzheimer’s Research Initiative seedling grant and could bring new hope for early intervention in neurodegenerative diseases.

When a student is identified as a stem cell or bone marrow donor match, timing matters—and class schedules shouldn’t stand in the way.

After learning this was a barrier for some donors, Texas A&M School of Public Health students Jillian Anderson ’26 and Claudia Garrett ’25 worked to change university policy at Texas A&M, helping establish excused absences for student donors. Their advocacy is making it easier for Aggies to step forward when they’re called to help someone in need—and is inspiring similar changes at other universities.
