The new facility has been named the Texas Instruments Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Building. “This new facility will deepen the collaboration between UT Southwestern and UT Dallas to advance transformational bioengineering research to improve patient care. “The already robust partnership between UT Dallas and UT Southwestern will take another huge step forward upon the launch of our shared facilities. In addition, support from TI, the UT System and the O’Donnell Foundation made it possible for UT Dallas to establish the Texas Biomedical Device Center in 2012. The UT Southwestern BME Program offers a PhD in biomedical engineering as part of the medical center’s Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
