UAB researchers discovered that the immune system consistently targets the same exposed region of mismatched HLA proteins following organ transplantation, and the findings could improve donor‑recipient matching and reduce antibody‑mediated rejection, helping transplanted organs last longer.

UAB is leading a national study examining how personalized genetic risk information can improve prevention of chronic diseases, helping guide earlier screening, treatment and clinical decision‑making.

The Blazer Bridge Fund encourages discovery among the UAB community by providing financial support to innovative ideas and inventions.

T-bet expression is required for persistence of memory B cells that have rapid differentiation potential to become antibody-producing plasma cells in response to a second infection.

UAB’s strategic planning continues to blaze its path to improve more lives by leveraging construction projects that include new and enhanced facilities across the institution, blooming green spaces and art installations.

With this collaborative effort, the profile of UAB within biomedical data science and future data-driven medicine will be significantly raised on a national stage.

These effector memory B cells appear poised for a rapid serum antibody response upon secondary challenge one year later, and evidence shows that the cells in this subset differ from all previously described memory B cell subsets.

The UAB projects will investigate was to improve and increase the use of artificial intelligence in biomedical research.

Record $95 million Heersink lead gift to advance strategic growth and biomedical innovation.

The Altec Styslinger Genomic Medicine and Data Sciences Building will help cement UAB’s place as a leading research institution in genomic and precision medicine.
