Strategic partnerships Texas Biomed actively engages with national and international partners across academia, government, and industry, presenting multiple collaboration avenues for joint research, contract development, and sponsored programs that can be leveraged for co-funded studies or fee-for-service work.

High containment capabilities With the world’s only privately owned BSL-4 laboratory and a large nonhuman primate research colony, Texas Biomed offers unique safety-ready facilities for high-risk pathogen research, enabling specialized contracted work in antiviral development, countermeasures, and biosafety-focused studies.

Genomics computing edge Home to the AT&T Genomics Computing Center and a leading computational genomics footprint, the institute can accelerate data-heavy projects, appealing to industry partners needing high-performance analysis, large-scale sequencing, and rapid biomarker discovery.

Policy and defense alignment Active CRADA and government collaborations, including with the U.S. Department of War, indicate readiness for defense-related biomedical programs, offering opportunities for service contracts, capability demonstrations, and development of medical countermeasures.

Education and outreach Partnerships with industry players for science education programs and public-facing initiatives create channels for sponsored STEM programs, workforce development collaborations, and potential sponsorships or long-term engagement opportunities with local communities.
