Our friends over at Frontburner just revealed the University of Texas System Regents voted to “name a major research tower at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas after Dr. Kern Wildenthal.” Called the C. Kern Wildenthal Research Building, it will be located on the north campus.
This recognition is due to Kern’s “extraordinary accomplishments” as both dean of the medical school and president of UT Southwestern.
Congrats to Kern and the UT Southwestern Medical Center campus!

This is wonderful news! I first met Dr. Kern Wildenthal as a student at UT Southwestern and have seen him many times over the years. He has done so much for Dallas and for medicine and has touched so many lives. What I remember most was that he always treated the students and faculty at UT Southwestern with respect and kindness.
