As home to the world-renowned Texas Medical Center, Houston is at the forefront of state-of-the-art medical research and development. Yet the average Houstonian may know very little about the incredible advances being made in their own backyard. In this extraordinary opportunity, doctors and researchers representing two TMC institutions, Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Heart Institute, will address a variety of cutting-edge developments, including molecular surgery, fetal surgery and new treatments for aging and addiction. Heart surgeon Denton Cooley will kick off the lecture series with a look at the past, present and future of the TMC and its dynamic institutions.

Seven Wednesdays, September 19-November 7, 2007,
