As one of the nation’s leading private, independent research institutes, the Texas Biomedical Research Institute works exclusively on infectious diseases threatening our future. Partnering with hundreds of researchers and organizations around the world, Texas Biomed is working to advance the fight against infectious diseases, including AIDS, TB, hepatitis, malaria, Ebola, zika, and parasitic infections, as well as new and emerging threats, including COVID-19.
It is projected that by 2050 infectious diseases will be the number-one killer globally, at a cost of $100 trillion. Texas Biomed is well-positioned to respond. Through its $250 million comprehensive campaign, A Scientific Revolution, Texas Biomed plans to double its scientists and resources in the coming decade positioning it to be the world leader in infectious disease.
