Simulation Center celebrates five years of technological innovation and growth

When students and faculty members asked for a way to better understand institutional racism in medicine and how to dismantle it, UT Southwestern quickly responded with a lecture series to get people talking about tough but important topics. The Anti-Racism Virtual Series launched in 2020, an unprecedented year filled with news of racial injustice on top of political unrest and a pandemic. The series, begun in October, has addressed topics such as the role of medical schools in health disparities, overcoming the effects of discrimination, and understanding the root causes of racism. Six experts from across the country have been featured in the series, which will continue through the academic year, said Dr. Shawna Nesbitt, Associate Dean of Student Diversity and Inclusion at UT Southwestern.

Julie Pfeiffer, Ph.D., whose discoveries launched a new discipline of microbiology studying transkingdom interactions, has begun her new role as Chair of Microbiology.

UT Southwestern is not only an excellent training ground for thousands of physicians, health care professionals, and scientists, but for some it is also the place where they met their significant others. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Alumni Relations and Center Times contacted several couples who met at UTSW as medical, graduate, or health professions students, or as residents. Here are some of their stories of romance.

Michael Norgard, Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert in sexually transmitted infections and Lyme disease, has been named Professor Emeritus of Microbiology.

Imaging scientist A. Dean Sherry, Ph.D., whose research on MRI molecular imaging agents has advanced our understanding of cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, has been appointed Professor Emeritus in the Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC).

When COVID-19 began to spread across the U.S. a year ago, a group of cardiologists at UT Southwestern brainstormed how they could contribute to what they called “the medical fight of our lives.” They came up with the idea of creating a national COVID-19 registry of cardiac patients and approached the American Heart Association (AHA) to develop the nationwide network.
