For a fourth year, a UT Health San Antonio student is named the recipient of the International College of Dentists (ICD) and Washington University Dental Alumni Association (WUDAA) Scholarship Award.

School of Dentistry researchers created a first of its kind sleep apnea model for studying chronic pain. The study, published July 30 in Science Signaling, explains the mechanism behind persistent pain related to obstructive sleep apnea.

The Web Initiatives team has created a new research website template specifically designed to elevate the way researchers present their work online. To answer questions on how to create research webpages or enhance an existing lab's site, the team created a short “how-to” video.

This exceptional milestone will prepare us to meet the growing demands of our region and offer the most comprehensive services of any university in the entire state of Texas.
