Texas Biomed augments the MSTP student experience by providing access to cutting-edge resources that enrich and supplement their graduate training. For example, Texas Biomed hosts one of only six labs in North America. This unique resource allows our virology and immunology students access to train to become leaders in fighting diseases and bioterror agents, such as SARS, Anthrax, Ebola virus, and more. supports scientists in studying nonhuman primates, a close genetic match to humans. By studying these animals in a controlled environment, scientists are better equipped to identify biological processes that contribute to disease in humans. The Genomics Research Center leads the advancement of statistical methods for genetic epidemiological research with one of the world's largest computer clusters for human genetic and genomic research. In the , scientists hold expertise in protein science, metabolic science, genetics, and complex data integration and analysis with state-of-the-art high throughput instrumentation, such as a mass spectrometer.
