When Dr. Jonathan Cohen arrived in Dr. Helen Hobbs’ lab to learn genetics, the pairing was unexpected – neither had chosen the other. “He was a postdoc in my laboratory with no background in genetics, but a deep understanding of lipoprotein physiology,” Dr. Hobbs says. “He was a quick learner, avid reader, and good experimentalist.” A decade later, the two forged a partnership widely credited with laying the scientific foundation for a new class of cholesterol-lowering drugs – and there’s more to the story.

Dr. Lora Hooper more or less stumbled into the research for which she is now internationally known – studying the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live inside the gut – and she was lucky enough to enter the microbiome field just as it took off.

Hobbs awarded international prize, Reese named UT Southwestern's newest Pew Scholar, and more.

Across UT Southwestern, ongoing collaborations in medicinal chemistry strive to improve the potency, stability, and safety of biologically active small molecules.
