Decoding the Future of Medicine
In the latest issue of Leading magazine, we spotlight the Cockrell Center for Advanced Therapeutics, where precision-engineered therapies take their first steps in early-phase clinical trials — translating science into hope for patients in need.
In addition, we highlight a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Texas Children’s Hospital made possible by support from The Fondren Foundation.
