Southeast Texas Biotechnology Park is being established by a consortium, but details remain sketchy.
Organizers say it's too early to discuss the new venture.
The proposed project could eventually have a total of 16 buildings operated by various members of the Texas Medical Center. The proposed site is on land owned by the University of Texas south of the Med Center, but not adjacent to it. John Walsh, who is heading up the project, says he isn't ready to release details on the biotech park. But Ashley Smith, president of TIRR, also known as The Institute of Rehabilitation and Research, is said to be involved with the venture. Dorey Zodrow, a spokesperson with Baylor College of Medicine, confirms organizers have been in contact with the medical school.
