What a moment in Texas Biomed’s history. I am humbled to be at the helm of this pioneering organization founded 85 years ago by a young man with incredible vision. But not only did Tom Slick Jr. see a future for the ranchland west of San Antonio as a bustling “Science City” – he made it happen.
Without a doubt, 2025 has been the most challenging year for science in my 30+ year career. We could not succeed without you. Your generosity and enthusiasm for our mission, our science and our education programs is amazing.
In two years, that overhead view of our campus will be very different; in five years, I guarantee it will be almost unrecognizable. Read the Letter from the President.
Levels and trim pieces and bulldozers, oh my! Texas Biomed is under construction. More than $60 million worth of capital projects are underway at the Institute, impacting every corner of campus.
Texas Biomedical Research Institute was built on the dream of our visionary founder, Tom Slick, Jr. to develop a “great center for human progress through scientific research.”
We are launching a new publication: TxBiomed. This new magazine will be published in print annually and online throughout the year.
