Texas Biomed now will be able to receive up to $100 million in federal funding over five years to help fight '21st-century health security threats.'
Desarey Morales Vasquez of the Texas Biomedical Research Institute works with cell cultures to generate cell lines to work with protein of SARS-CoV-2.
Texas Biomed has invested more than $50 million in its operations since approving the plan in 2019, Foy said. The effort resulted in 125 new jobs, construction for new research complexes, a doubling of federally-funded research and a tripling of contract research. The nonprofit has broken ground on the $15 million-plus Animal Care Complex and fundraising is ramping up for the new Global Center for Bioscience — “the future home for multi-discplinary team science,” Foy said.
In February, San Antonio City Council agreed to give $10 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to Texas Biomed despite protests from a national group saying the research institute has a history of unethical animal testing and didn’t qualify. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said Tuesday in a statement that the city needs “modern, cutting responses to 21st-century health security threats.”
