<\/figure>\n\n\n\nApproved today by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, the institute (part of Tarleton\u2019s Division of Research, Innovation and Economic Development) will\u00a0drive multidisciplinary discovery\u00a0and innovation in bioinformatics and computational modeling of microbiomes, profoundly impacting everything from agriculture to medicine to energy to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Tarleton State Biotechnology Institute will foster academic and industry partnerships, develop a talent pipeline and inspire next-generation scientists and workforce professionals,\u201d said A&M System Chancellor John Sharp. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texas A&M-Fort Worth is a collaboration between the A&M System and the city of Fort Worth and Tarrant County.

The first building, a replacement for the current Texas A&M Law School, is set to open in 2025 and the others by 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe vigorous support of Chancellor Sharp and the A&M System regents enhances everything we do,\u201d said Tarleton State President James Hurley. \u201cThanks to their backing, we\u2019re boosting quality of life through life-changing education. This has been our commitment for nearly 125 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarleton State already has a growing 80-acre campus in southwest Fort Worth, with a second building well under construction. At more than 100,000 square feet of classroom and specialized lab space, the $66 million Interprofessional Education Building will help address two of the region\u2019s most pressing needs \u2014 increased access to quality healthcare and education. Move-in is set for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
