AN ANSWER TO HUMAN DISEASES
MAY LIE IN THE SMALLEST KNOWN
REALMS OF LIFE.

That's the promise of biomedical informatics, an exciting new field that we're pioneering right now at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, located in the world's largest medical center. Biomedical informatics is the simulation, imaging and treatment of human diseases at the level of single molecules or molecular assemblies that provide structure, control, signaling and motility in cells. By studying the actions and interactions within life's subcellular machinery, we're finding better drug and treatment options. We're also learning how to diagnose diseases earlier. Thereby, our research builds bridges between the smallest size bio-molecules and Texas-size clinical practice.
