A graduate education is shaped by more than the research you pursue. It’s the mentors who challenge you, peers who bring different perspectives, opportunities to explore new directions, and a community that helps you grow along the way.

Talk with recruiters and student ambassadors from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Houston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences to learn more about our programs and admissions.

We’ll be at recruiting events throughout the fall. Find an upcoming event and connect with us: gsbs.uth.edu/admissions/recruitment-schedule

As a new academic year begins at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Houston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, students across our PhD, MS, and MD/PhD programs are taking the next steps in their scientific training.

For some, that means building foundations in biomedical research, exploring new disciplines, rotating through labs, and finding mentors. For others, it means advancing their research, preparing for candidacy, and pursuing the questions that will help shape their fields.

Here’s to the questions, challenges, breakthroughs, and milestones ahead.

Four scholars, one of the Graduate School’s highest honors. 🔬🏆

Congratulations to Yibo Dai, Sseu-Pei Hwang, Peyton High, PhD ’26, and Kris Wang, PhD ‘26, recipients of the 2026 Presidents’ Research Scholarship — the Graduate School’s most prestigious honor recognizing outstanding research accomplishments by senior students.

Dai, Hwang, High, and Wang presented their research during New Student Orientation, giving our incoming students an early look at the science being advanced by their fellow Graduate School student scholars.

We’re proud to celebrate these four researchers and the accomplishments that earned them this distinction.

Great science takes great teamwork. 🔬🤝

Leaders of the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS) T32 program invited Gabriela Fernández Castillo, PhD, to join Graduate School trainees today for a session on the science behind effective research teams. Fernández Castillo is a leader of the Team Science Component at the UTHealth Houston Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences.

She shared evidence-based approaches to collaboration, communication, psychological safety, and coordination — skills that become increasingly important as biomedical research brings together people with different expertise to solve complex problems.

The session gave our trainees another set of tools for the interdisciplinary research teams they are part of today, and those they will help lead throughout their careers.

National recognition for a rising neuroscientist. 🧠🔬

Congratulations to Stephen Farmer, PhD ’26, who was recently selected as a 2026 recipient of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Outstanding Scholars in Neuroscience Award Program (OSNAP)!

Farmer recently completed his PhD in the Molecular and Translational Biology, and Neuroscience programs, conducting his doctoral research in the lab of Sheng Zhang, PhD, associate professor at The Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine at McGovern Medical School.

As an OSNAP awardee, he will present his research and connect with NIH scientists, program officers, and fellow neuroscience researchers at the award symposium in Maryland, in January.

Farmer will continue building on his work in neurological disease in September, when he joins the laboratory of Huda Zoghbi, MD, founding director of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine.

Getting to know the people, programs, and possibilities ahead. 🔬🧭

New Student Orientation is underway, bringing our incoming students together this week as they begin navigating life at the Graduate School.

They are meeting potential mentors, hearing directly from students and program leaders, exploring research and career paths, connecting with student organizations, learning about available resources, and getting to know the Texas Medical Center and Houston community that will be part of their experience.

Welcome to our newest students!
