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.

Stem cell star Sean Morrison to Michigan GOP: ‘You don’t compete by looking for ways to put stem cell biologists in jail’

June 2nd, 2011 by Admin

TAMR welcomes Sean Morrison to Texas.  TAMR’s goal has been to protect the ability for Texas researchers to explore all forms of regenerative medical research. The non-partisan  support of the majority of the Texas Legislature has preserved a welcoming environment in Texas for regenerative medical research.

A preeminent figure in adult stem cell research is leaving the state of Michigan to continue his ground breaking Cancer Research in Texas.

Sean Morrison, director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Michigan, isn’t mincing words on his way out the door.  Read More

iPS Transplants Rejected in Surprise Setback for new Therapies

May 19th, 2011 by Admin

There is a reason that what is done in the laboratory is called research.  This finding in no way diminishes the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells {iPS).  It merely underscores the fact  that all forms of stem cell research must be pursued.  There are no easy or quick answers.

“Hopes for treating life-threatening diseases with cells taken from patients’ own bodies have suffered a setback after research showed they might trigger severe immune reactions.

The surprise finding will be a hurdle for scientists working on induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, a variety of cell that holds promise for treating conditions as diverse as muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s and heart disease.“  Read More
