Letter from CEO

It is with great regard I think about the people and the passion that comprise this Institution. People are at the heart of our mission… enhancing lives through discovery.

Due to its unique resources and team, Texas Biomed makes scientific discoveries that lead to better diagnostics, preventions, therapies and cures for a number of diseases impacting millions of lives. From Ebola virus to Parkinson’s disease, Diabetes to Osteoporosis, millions of people are battling life-changing diseases every day. It is with this in mind that we seek answers to scientific questions that can change our world.

Scientists here are making significant progress in the fight. We are able to make progress thanks to our scientists, our team, our board of trustees, our philanthropic supporters and our collaborators around the world. A vision to create a world-class institution dedicated to the scientific advancement of human health began with our Founder, Thomas Baker Slick Jr. He saw the impact that science could have on mankind, and together, we are making his vision a reality.
