“This new facility will deepen the collaboration between UT Southwestern and UT Dallas to advance transformational bioengineering research to improve patient care," said Daniel K. Podolsky, UT Southwestern Medical Center president, in a statement. "By integrating biomedical engineering with advances in related fields, such as artificial intelligence, molecular imaging, robotics and genetic engineering, the UTSW-UTD collaborations will further solidify North Texas as a hub for biomedical innovation.”
Construction of the facility is scheduled to be completed in 2023, according to a joint UT Southwestern and UT Dallas news release. The building will feature both wet and dry laboratory space as well as areas designated specifically to promote multidisciplinary interactions, the release stated.
“Our gift reflects our confidence in the brilliant minds at UT Southwestern and UT Dallas to combine medical and engineering talent and resources to solve problems that will advance patient care,” TI President and CEO Rich Templeton said in a statement. “What gets me personally excited is that semiconductor technology will be at the center of the medical discoveries that are made inside this new building.”
The 150,000-square-foot facility will be located at 2336 Inwood Road, Dallas, on UT Southwestern’s East Campus. www.utdallas.edu www.utswmed.org
