The Texas Biomedical Research Institute is:

• Headquarters of 85 doctoral-level scientists.

  Multidisciplinary teams of scientists — physiologists, biochemists, geneticists, virologists, immunologists, molecular biologists, cell biologists, physicians and veterinarians — work together on an array of research endeavors. Our scientists enjoy strong collaborative research efforts with regional, national, and international institutions.

• Home to approximately 400 employees.

  Texas Biomed's employees include a doctoral staff of approximately 85, a technical support staff of more than 125, and a general and administrative support staff of approximately 200 individuals.

• Located on a 200-acre campus, with room for expansion.

  Our scientists are able to conduct their research amid 480,000 square feet of space that includes laboratories, offices, an animal hospital, a library, and specially designed animal facilities, including two six-acre corrals. Soon Texas Biomed will have even more space dedicated to research. Construction just began on a new building that will house additional laboratories and offices and serve as the "face" of Texas Biomed. 

• Operating on an annual budget of nearly $55 million

  Approximately two-thirds of Texas Biomed's budget is funded by competitive, peer-reviewed grants from the National Institutes of Health and other funding agencies, while another 11 percent comes from contracts with biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms. Remaining expenses are met by the generous contributions of foundations, corporations and individuals, as well as earnings from Texas Biomed's permanent endowments.



• Led by a stellar board of trustees, and supported strongly in the community.

  The Institute's friends and benefactors join us in advancing our important mission. Major supporters include The Argyle, a stately southern mansion and prestigious private club devoted exclusively to supporting Texas Biomed, as well as community partners who donate funds and raise community awareness of the Institute through their participation in the Golden Circle, Benefactor Circle, President's Circle, Chairman's Circle, Founder's Council, and the Forum.
