National School of Tropical MedicineSM
The National School of Tropical Medicine (NSTM) at Baylor College of Medicine is the first school in the United States solely committed to addressing the world's most pressing tropical disease issues.
The school applies strong traditions in basic, translational and applied biotechnology research brought by the BCM faculty and staff with the newly affiliated Sabin Vaccine Institute Product Development Partnership (Sabin-PDP). The NSTM works in partnership with Texas Children's Hospital, home of the Sabin Vaccine Institute & Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development.
NSTM will launch a variety of basic, clinical and biotechnology educational programs to train a new generation of scientists and health professionals.
