Baylor College of Medicine is a health sciences university that creates knowledge and applies science and discoveries to further education, healthcare and community service locally and globally. Learn more about our mission, vision and values.

Ranked 20th in the nation, and first in Texas since 2006 for obtaining National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, Baylor College of Medicine received $687 million in total funding from 2,792 sponsored project awards in fiscal year 2023. Baylor operates more than 90 research and patient-care centers and units. BCM also operates more than 27 Advanced Technology Core Laboratories that provide services for studies in areas like metabolomics, proteomics, pathology, and genomics.

The series is offered to students of both institutions and aims to present important topics in the history of medicine, focusing on relevance to current concepts and practices. Topics vary from the doctor-patient relationship to disease concepts to local medical history to research ethics; lecture subjects change each year.

The objectives for this elective are to:

1. Acquaint students with history throughout medicine.
2. Promote student learning about selected historical events and/or figures in medicine.
3. Promote understanding of the many roots and challenges of modern medicine and practice.

The Roy M. and Phyllis Gough Huffington Center on Aging spearheads breakthrough research and is committed to translating basic research discoveries into applications that promote healthy aging and combat age-associated disorders. The faculty, along with their research staff and trainees, utilize diverse model systems and multidisciplinary approaches to address questions that are of crucial importance to the biology, pathophysiology and diseases of aging. The major research topics include lifespan and health span studies, aging of the endocrine, vasculature, and central nervous systems, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease..

The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is among the top-ranked cancer hospitals in the country. It was proposed by Horace Wilkins, Col. William Bates, and John H. Freeman, the trustees of the M.D. Anderson Foundation. It was officially incorporated in 1946 and Bertner was appointed president. The Anderson Foundation made grants to Methodist Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, Texas Children’s Hospital, a new building for Hermann Hospital, and for a library.

The Texas Medical Center grew quickly, provided a home for innovators such as heart surgeons Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley; William Spencer and his work on rehabilitation of paralysis patients; trauma surgeon and medevac pioneer James “Red” Duke; and Nobel Prize-winning pharmacology researcher Ferid Murad.

On November 18, 1946, Harry Truman authorized the National Research Council to establish an organization "to undertake a long range, continuing study of the biological and medical effects of the atomic bomb on man." The result was the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (Genbaku-Shogai I-inkai). Necessitated by the most cataclysmic event of the century, the breadth, scope and duration of the work of the ABCC has given that institution an unparalleled position in the history of science and of medicine.

Since 1986, the McGovern Historical Center has solicited and preserved the documents of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. This Collection is comprised of manuscripts and other records donated by former members throughout the United States. There are nearly 200 cubic feet of records. The individual collections offer insight; while the entire collection offers a comprehensive view of the attitudes, goals, and activities of the Commission from the late 1940's through its evolution into the Radiation Effects Research Foundation. An interesting component of the ABCC Collection are the photographs. These augment the written records and provide their own historical evidence of the research activities, international interest in the ABCC, and the interactions of the personnel.
