Texas Biomedical Research Institute, known as Texas Biomed, is an independent biomedical research institution focused on advancing health through collaborative scientific inquiry and international partnerships. It operates from a 200-acre campus on the northwest side of San Antonio, Texas, and hosts the Southwest National Primate Research Center, including a pedigreed colony of nonhuman primates that supports humane, rigorous research. The institute also houses the nation's privately owned biosafety level 4 laboratory, enabling work on highly dangerous pathogens for which there are no treatments.

Researchers oversee a broad portfolio of major projects across programs such as Host-Pathogen Interactions, Disease Intervention & Prevention, and Population Health, led by doctoral-level scientists in a multidisciplinary environment. The AT&T Genomics Computing Center on site contains the world's largest computer cluster for human genetic and genomic research, accelerating data-intensive studies. In 2026, Texas Biomed partnered with SwRI to test antiviral compounds against the Ebola virus, illustrating ongoing collaborations to address emerging infectious threats.
