Last week, Texas Biomed and Southwest National Primate Research Center celebrated Biomedical Research Awareness Day - BRAD. BRAD Day offers the opportunity to highlight the critical role lab animals play in advancing human and animal health -- from the development of insulin for diabetes to the high-frequency neonatal ventilator that helps babies born prematurely breathe to a wide range of lifesaving vaccines, antivirals and therapies (just to name a few)! Team members helped make yummy enrichment treats for our primates and expressed their thanks for the animals in our care. We also want to thank the legion of veterinarians and caretakers who work tirelessly to make sure our animals are safe and healthy every day!

It was a full house today at the Texas Biomed Global Health Symposium at the San Antonio Botanical Garden and online with virtual attendees participating from around the world. We kicked the day off with a insightful conversation between Keynote Speaker and former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD and Texas Biomed President & CEO Larry Schlesinger about the future of science and medicine. We had many invigorating discussions and are so grateful to all the panelists, attendees and strategic partners for making it such a fantastic day -- even in the rain -- to focus on global health. Here are a few photos from the main stage today! 🌎
