Leading in Genomics
Dear Friends,
If you haven't been back to campus lately, you might not have seen the construction progress of the Science & Engineering Innovation & Research building. The building will be home to the North Texas Genome Center (NTGC), a partnership with the University of North Texas Health Science Center that will bring massive genome sequencing capabilities to the DFW Metroplex. In addition to enhancing healthcare delivery in the region, the NTGC will spur growth in the region’s rapidly expanding biotech sector. Check out the NTGC and help support UTA's mission to advance health and the human condition.
Sincerely,
Julie Barfield
Executive Director of Alumni Relations
