Texans for Advancement of Medical Research (TAMR) is an organization of scientists, physicians, ethicists, leading health groups, and individuals who support biomedical research in Regenerative Medicine for the express purpose of curing diseases and alleviating suffering.

We work to preserve biomedical research in Regenerative Medicine in the State of Texas by:

  • Raising public awareness and understanding of biomedical research benefits.
  • Educating elected officials representing the state of Texas.
  • Advocating on behalf of the collective stakeholders.

TAMR supports legislation that regulates research in regenerative medicine, a new field of medicine focusing on all types of stem cells to cure degenerative diseases and conditions. TAMR strongly opposes human reproductive cloning, which is unsafe and unethical.

TAMR's all-volunteer army of grassroots advocates fought valiantly—and succeeded—against a well-organized and well-funded minority opposing stem cell research.
