The Future of Space Research Is Here
NASA selects Texas A&M as a hub for innovation and explorationThe cutting-edge facility — with a realistic two-and-a-half-acre area replicating the moon’s surface, and another area the same size replicating the surface of Mars — will propel groundbreaking research, fuel industry collaborations and prepare the emerging generation of scientists and engineers to lead humanity’s next great frontier.
Solving the Dementia Crisis
Our dementia initiative unites 17 colleges to solve health transitions before they become diagnoses.
With over $1.2 million in seed funding, the Dementia and Alzheimer’s Research Initiative (DARI) unites researchers across disciplines to drive breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and care.
The moment dementia begins is not the diagnosis
Researchers are shifting the focus from late-stage Alzheimer’s to the earlier biological transition when mild cognitive impairment begins converting to dementia.
Texas A&M is uniquely positioned to lead in the next era of research — where scale, talent and mission converge. I am excited to build on this strong foundation and help expand the university’s research enterprise in ways that elevate its national and global impact.
