Designated by the FDA as a Breakthrough Device, Claire is designed to enhance surgeons' ability to detect difficult-to-see cancer during breast-conserving surgery and potentially reduce the need for re-operations.
Rather than replace radiologists, UTD researchers say AI could help flag low-risk mammograms for automated review. The approach could cut costs and ease delays as cancer rates rise and the diagnostic workforce shrinks.
Funding 25 projects across 17 institutions, the Dallas-founded nonprofit is prioritizing metastatic disease, precision medicine, and closing care gaps.
Dallas-based Susan G. Komen said the "Dallas North Texas Race for the Cure" will take place in Plano on Saturday, Oct. 19, and the Fort Worth "More Than Pink" Walk will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5. Komen is the world’s leading breast cancer organization.
Dallas-based Komen said the 32 grants will further cutting-edge breast cancer research being done at 27 prestigious institutions worldwide and continue its longstanding support of breast cancer researchers early in their careers, as well as the world’s leaders in the field.
The UT Southwestern researchers' noninvasive model uses a standard MRI, paired with machine learning AI, to detect the presence of cancer cells in the lymph nodes under the arms.
The Dallas-based organization said the appointments of Kim Blackwell, Elizabeth de-Saint Aignan, Charles Rockefeller, and Kathy Sutherland are "a significant milestone" in its continued commitment to advancing breast cancer research, awareness, and support.
Dallas-based Susan G. Komen said the $19.3 million in grants will support its mission to end breast cancer through funding two focus areas: advancing precision medicine and eliminating disparities in breast cancer outcomes, while continuing the organization's commitment to supporting the next generation of diverse leaders in breast cancer research.
Carlos L. Arteaga, M.D., is director of the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center and associate dean of oncology programs at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He is a professor of internal medicine and the Lisa K. Simmons Distinguished Chair in Comprehensive Oncology at UT Southwestern.
The early-stage startup's QmTRIAGE software platform uses AI and machine learning to detect early breast cancers with a "high rate" of accuracy, MedCognetics says. The company has worked with UT Southwestern and UT Dallas to ensure its AI improves outcomes for "all ethnicities," at a time when racial disparities in AI have become a growing concern.
Dr. Ahn is working on something very small that may have a profound, lifesaving impact on something hugely dangerous. In collaboration with UTSW Medical Center professor Dr. Ganesh Raj and UTHSC San Antonio's Ratna Vadlamudi, Ahn has created a molecule that can kill an array of cancers, including an aggressive form of breast cancer.
The goal of the molecules is to prevent molecular “handshakes” between proteins that can cause out-of-control cell growth that spreads cancer further.

Swiss global pharmaceutical giant Novartis recently broke ground on its new radioligand therapy (RLT) manufacturing site in Denton, part of its broader $23 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing and research.
When completed in 2028, the company’s first Texas‑based manufacturing facility will bring RLT medications closer to patients across the southern United States, becoming the fifth RLT site nationwide, Novartis said....
Zackat Labs, a Plano-based leader in advanced safety solutions, has launched its connected safety platform, featuring the W3 wearable monitoring device and a seamlessly integrated gas monitor. The system is designed to “significantly improve safety and health management” in a wide range of industries—by providing real-time, proactive monitoring for critical physiological and environmental risks....
Georgetown-based Strategic Thermal Labs, a specialist in advanced liquid-cooling technologies, got a boost in its startup journey by a seed investment from Cowtown Angels, the investment network arm of TechFW. That turned into an exit success story recently with Strategic Thermal Labs’ acquisition by Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a Columbus, Ohio-based leader in critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions....
