SciTech Now - Best of 2018

Email share

With so many great SciTech Now segments in 2018, it was a real challenge to pick three that we think tell some of the best stories. But, here goes ...

First up, a UT Health San Antonio researcher studying so called zombie cells in the development of Alzheimer’s. Dr. Miranda Orr knows the disease first-hand, as it runs in her family. We explore more in the segment Zombie Alzheimer’s

In addition to cutting-edge medical technology, we come across some of the best and brightest innovators in our city - college seniors, who in their free time teamed up to invent new solutions to some real problems, which they showcased at a UTSA tech symposium.

And finally, a mouthwash being studied at UT Health San Antonio in hopes that it will be used in the treatment of a dangerously aggressive and recurrent form of oral cancer.

Catch this episode of SciTech Now airing Thursday, Dec. 20 at 7:30 p.m. on KLRN.
