The Temple Health and Bioscience District (THBD) is the only such district established in the state of Texas, and is devoted to the creation and development of healthcare and bioscience/biotechnology opportunities within the City of Temple.

To assert this mission, THBD is a signatory to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in 2009 among Temple-based Participating Entities (Collaborators) for the establishment and operation of the THBD Office and Laboratory Facility. The Key Collaborators are Scott & White, Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, Temple College, Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System of Central Texas, Blackland Research and Extension Center, and the City of Temple (linked below).

By working together with other incubators and organizations who share our mission to grow central Texas as the biotech corridor, we are only helping our state to continue to bring the latest innovations and companies in to help us continue to flourish.

THBD’s Executive Director Tami Annable is a member of several organizations seeking our shared mission including the P-20 Central Texas Regional Council and Capital City Innovation. By working with these like-minded individuals, we can conquer the challenges facing central Texas to bring us closer to creating central Texas as the biotech hub.
