I had the pleasure of joining our Graduate Student Association this afternoon for a thoughtful town hall discussion. What I appreciated most was the openness of the conversation — hearing directly from students about their experiences. Our goal is simple: to help every student succeed. #WeAreGSBS

Proud of the three students who presented their research at MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Town Hall today and answered questions about their important work to better understand brain and colorectal cancer, embryonic development and fertility challenges. Thanks for your dedication to science!

Today’s commencement reminded me what it looks like when a community stands behind science. In these uncertain times, when funding is tight and priorities shift, I’m inspired by our students’ perseverance, families' support, and faculty dedication. The future of biomedical science is in good hands!

Grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate the research, resilience, and rising talent that define the GSBS.
I remain proud that our school is not just holding steady—we’re growing. Thanks to the support of our donors and institutional partners.
