Mission

The Founder’s Council invites young professionals ages 25 to 46 to carry forward Tom Slick’s vision by championing Texas Biomed and supporting life-saving biomedical research.

Membership dues help fund competitive equipment grants for Texas Biomed scientists, while member events connect the community to the research and the people behind it. Together, we help accelerate discoveries that protect health in San Antonio and around the world.

The Power of Research

When you join the Founder’s Council, you support one of the world’s leading independent biomedical research institutes and help drive progress that improves lives globally. Last year, the Founder’s Council helped fund more than $32,000 in laboratory equipment that strengthens research across Texas Biomed.
