  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 50th 
anniversary of UT Health San Antonio's Graduate School of Biomedical 
Sciences (GSBS). For decades, GSBS has led our nation in educating 
future biomedical professionals. Please join me in recognizing its 
extraordinary achievements.
  Since October 21, 1972, GSBS has produced more than 4,000 graduates 
who are working worldwide in academia, the sciences, and other key 
industries. The school offers 21 academic programs and serves students 
from across the nation, with a particular focus on students from 
underrepresented backgrounds and economically-disadvantaged groups. 
GSBS programs are designed to provide a foundation of knowledge and 
scientific inquiry in the pursuit of educating students in contemporary 
areas of the biomedical sciences.
  GSBS faculty work on cutting-edge research in areas such as cancer, 
heart disease, and neurogenerative disorders. GSBS is one of only 11 
institutions with National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded Doctor of 
Dental Surgery/Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Medicine/Doctor of 
Philosophy combined degrees.
  Madam Speaker, UT Health San Antonio's Graduate School of Biomedical 
Sciences (GSBS) is a pillar of our extraordinary community. GSBS will 
continue to remain at the forefront of scientific exploration. I 
congratulate GSBS on their 50th anniversary year. I look forward to 
seeing the many great things GSBS and its students will accomplish in 
the years to come.
