THE ORGANIZATION
Texas Medical Center’s (TMC) mission is to serve the health, education and research needs of Texas and the world. TMC’s portfolio of business includes real estate, parking, hospitality, and leasing. Each of these is a core component of work and sustains our business. TMC also builds programmatic partnerships and relationships across TMC, its member institutions, industry, as well as City, State and Federal.
TMC owns and operates three main districts: TMC Medical Campus, Helix Park, and TMC Innovation Factory.
TMC’s Medical Campus —the largest medical complex in the world—is at the forefront of advancing life sciences. Home to the brightest minds in medicine, TMC nurtures cross-institutional collaboration, creativity, and innovation because together, we can push the limits of what’s possible. TMC is comprised of renowned hospital systems and preeminent research and academic institutions. As a landowner and developer, we are responsible for the infrastructure and operations that support this large and growing medical center.
Helix Park is a world-class, life science complex that unites some of the best minds in medicine, science, academia, and commerce to rapidly drive new research breakthroughs. The 37-acre development includes shared and proprietary research centers, multi-disciplinary laboratories, retail, and several parks designed in a double-helix. Future plans include a hotel, residential, and a conference center.
The TMC Innovation Factory empowers entrepreneurs from across the world to push the limits of discovery and bring their solutions to life faster with the support of TMCi accelerators and programming, industry partners, and the greater TMC ecosystem. The Innovation Factory is a place for healthcare and life science startups to incubate and grow their businesses.
