The call to address human health needs takes many forms at Baylor. Researchers may study molecules and cells to find treatments for disease, examine waterways for pollution or search for connections between diet and health.

Baylor Regent Todd, B.S. ’90, and Amy Patterson established The Todd and Amy Patterson Endowed Chair in Cybersecurity to advance the School of Engineering and Computer Science’s research within the field of cybersecurity. 

During the Give Light philanthropic campaign, the Baylor Family’s generosity enabled the University to create an astounding 23 new endowed chairs: high-level academic positions that draw elite faculty.

Research universities are a key driver of innovative new technologies and other inventions that address critical global challenges. For the third consecutive year, Baylor has earned its place among the nation’s best.
