Abstract Submissions Open for Student Research Week
The 32nd annual Student Research Week (SRW) celebrates our outstanding TTUHSC student research. Students from each school can present and explore new research and ideas while learning from different researchers.
Heart Failure - a Progressive Disease That Can Affect Many Organs
More than 6 million Americans have heart failure, and more than 900,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. However, if the disease is detected early and treated appropriately, it doesn’t have to be a lump of coal in your stocking.
TTUHSC Receives SACSCOC Reaffirmation of Accreditation
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has been approved for reaffirmation of accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

TTUHSC Researcher Modifies Antibiotic to Treat Alcohol Use Disorder
Over the last decade, headlines across the U.S. have been dominated by the national opioid epidemic, and rightfully so. The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that 47,600 people died from opioid overdoses in 2017 alone, and more than 17,000 of those deaths involved prescription opioids.
Holiday Eating Can Unwrap a Hidden Health Grinch
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), more than 1.25 million Americans have Type 1 diabetes and approximately 40,000 more are diagnosed each year. That represents just a fraction of the country’s 30 million people with diabetes, including the vast majority who live with Type 2 diabetes. What’s more alarming is that another 84 million Americans are considered to be pre-diabetic, and though they may be dealing with symptoms of the disease, almost 90% have no idea they are at risk.
Care Beyond Recovery
Palliative Medicine is growing, especially here in West Texas. This is a team-centered approach to health care that not only helps patients maximize function amid critical illness, but helps assist them in improving the quality of their lives beyond the physical realm. Psychological, cultural, and spiritual support mechanisms are essential in effective palliative care.
TTUHSC’s Stark Enjoys Role as the Area’s Only Addiction Psychiatrist
