The University of Florida has received more than $500 million in @Gatorade royalties, showcasing how research-driven innovation @UF can fuel major funding and inspire cross-disciplinary progress.

Federally funded scientific research fuels breakthroughs in healthcare that benefit us all. That’s why @NIH is awarding @UFlorida’s @UFCTSI with a grant to continue translating discoveries into real-world solutions that improve Americans’ health. https://t.co/ZyNQ3Q08uy

Scientists at @UF Health are working toward using gene therapy for hearing loss. A new system using extracellular vesicles — akin to a cell’s text messages — holds the key. https://t.co/XiFC53BQch

Portable genetic sequencers used around the world to sequence DNA have critical, previously unreported security vulnerabilities that could reveal or alter genetic information without detection, according to a new study. 🧬 Read more at https://t.co/pgR4ONAXhW!

Last week, we celebrated the groundbreaking of our new Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture. This space will be the cradle for advancements in agricultural technology. We would like to thank the state legislature for its generous funding and the farmers' and

#Modern imaging has uncovered that chameleons possess uniquely long, coiled #OpticNerves, enabling their eyes’ independent movement and nearly 360-degree vision—unlike any other lizard. @floridamuseum @SciReports https://t.co/eNrpw484Dm

On Veterans Day and every day, we honor those who serve and have served. Thank you for your bravery, veterans.

Linda Cottler, a @UFPHHP and @UFMedicine professor, is leading the way with a UF-based National Drug Early Warning System. The NDEWS is a national effort using real-time data to identify emerging drug threats before they spread. https://t.co/1zceTH792W

Backed by the @NSF, UF is leading a project using AI models to help emergency teams plan safer escapes during wildfire evacuations.

Ever wondered what magnetism sounds like? 🎧 UF researchers built “nano drums” thin enough to hear it — a discovery that could lead to faster, greener computers. 🔗 https://t.co/dl1Ua6qx7t

The golden oyster mushroom may look harmless, but @SFFGS_UF research shows it’s invading forests. This popular edible species can outcompete native fungi & disrupt ecosystems. How scientists are tracking its spread & more 🔗 https://t.co/eZpxtsXUmC

Ever heard of a ghost shark? 👻🦈 They’re not spirits or sharks, but they could be key in unlocking some mysteries of human dentistry.

Dr. Corene Matyas, a geographer and tropical meteorology expert at @UF_CLAS, uses GIS and big data to analyze rainfall from tropical cyclones like Hurricane Melissa, enhancing risk assessment, preparedness, and public safety.

The University of Florida ranks #1 against 100 of the top universities in the nation, reported by @WSJ https://t.co/UssZk5vtkt

The COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccines developed during the pandemic could spark the immune system to fight cancer, according to new research in @Nature. Christiano Marconi, a researcher in MBI investigator Dr. Elias Sayour’s lab, explains in @ConversationUS. https://t.co/AymJLtXoCR

UF’s powerful computing infrastructure, especially HiPerGator, has been central to our growing research reputation, faculty recruitment, and advancements in fields from engineering and medicine to history and astronomy.

Cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy treatment for advanced forms of lung cancer or melanoma lived significantly longer than those who didn’t get the vaccine, UF researchers have found. https://t.co/R6Z0nau8nJ

With sustainable design, advanced visualization tools, and a lab for future building systems, the Collaboratory supports student needs and faculty goals for industry-ready education. To learn more about a bold space for building the future, visit:

Chimay Anumba; Nancy Clark, professor and director of the School of Architecture (pictured first); and Ravi Srinivasan, professor and associate dean for research and strategic initiatives (pictured second), are leading by example—creating and designing Florida's future.

Designed as a student-centered, tech-forward hub, the Ramos Collaboratory includes advanced labs, a digital twin system and flexible spaces like the Creative Collisions Commons to foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Now, nearly a decade later, the college is unveiling the Bruno E. and Maritza F. Ramos Collaboratory, a $49 million, 50,000-square-foot facility, has a soft opening during homecoming this weekend and fully operational by Spring 2026.
