UT Austin and @UTMDAnderson researchers may have found a new drug that can "trick" the immune system into fighting cancer. The experimental treatment can mimic a viral infection, prompting the body to attack tumors. The discovery could potentially offer opportunities to lower the doses for chemotherapy and fewer side effects: utex.as/3RGhtRG

Independent pharmacy is evolving, and so is patient care. 🩺 Texas Pharmacy alumni Steve Hoffart (B.S. ’94, Pharm.D. ’02) and Ryan Hoffart (Pharm.D. ’23) are helping redefine what a community pharmacy can be. Through Magnolia Pharmacy, the father and son team is expanding access to care, delivering personalized health services and strengthening connections with the community they serve.

If you look closely at Spanish tiles roofs across the Forty Acres, you’ll see they range from red and brown to orange and cream. What began in 1909 with Battle Hall grew into a defining campus identity, continuing across generations and still shaping the look and feel of UT Austin today: utex.as/4eagpge
