Baylor Research Institute - Putting Research to Work.

Moving scientific theory from the research bench to clinical trials and, ultimately, to the patient's beside, is central to the Baylor mission of patient-centered medical research through Baylor Research Institute (BRI). This bench-to-bedside focus involves basic science, clinical trials and health care effectiveness and quality of care research.  Among the novel applications developed are customizable cancer vaccines and ultrasound-targeted microbubble transport to deliver genes or drugs to specific tissues including the heart, pancreas, kidneys, skeletal muscle and the brain to rejuvenate cells. 

In the past two years, BRI, which is based on the downtown Dallas campus, opened new clinical trials offices at Baylor All Saints Medical Center at Fort Worth, Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano and THE HEART HOSPITAL Baylor Plano.

Major Grants Include:

• $6.2 million from the National Institute of Health to develop a center for lupus research at Baylor Health Care System.
• $3 million from the National Cancer Institute to develop melanoma vaccines.
• Over $6 million from INSERM (the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research) and ANRS (the French National Agency for AIDS Research) to develop and test HIV vaccines.

Serving Our Communities

Throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area and across the nation, not-for-profit organizations like Baylor have been more critical to the health of communities than ever before.  An essential link in the health safety net that provides medical services to those in need, it is not surprising that Baylor is at the forefront of expanding access to health care. Part of  Baylor's mission is to ensure that the most vulnerable of our populations continue to have access to quality health care services.  Baylor, through Southern Sector Health Initiative, joined its efforts with the City of Dallas to bring wellness programs, medical information and medical care to the residents of South Dallas who have the diagnosis of diabetes or are on the path to this serious illness. BHCS took the lead with a $15 million commitment to improving health outcomes for area residents. The Diabetes Health and Wellness Institute, staffed by Baylor, is housed at the historic Juanita J. Craft Recreation Center. The goal of the center is to weave diabetes prevention into the fabric of the community so that it is a natural and convenient part of life in this neighborhood.

The Institute will provide:

• Full-time, on-site physician and nurse practitioner
• Visiting medical specialists
• Referral coordinator for specialty and ancillary care
• Diabetes management educator
• Affordable diabetes medications
• Nutrition and healthy cooking classes
• Exercise programs including running and walking clinics and weight training

Annually, Baylor Health Care System reports its community benefit to the Department of State Health Services. In fiscal year 2009, Baylor reported a preliminary number of $468 million in community benefits.

A Promising Future

The medical education programs provide diversity, quality and a combination of real-world applications and academic excellence for physicians participating in elective rotations, and residency and fellowship programs.  Annually, more than 200 interns, residents and fellows enroll in the training programs at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and 15 residents pursue the Baylor Family Medicine Residency Program at Baylor Medical Center at Garland. With goals of reducing cancer to a chronic disease and ultimately finding a cure, Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas is developing North Texas' first dedicated cancer hospital along with a new outpatient cancer center. The new 450,000-square-foot cancer center is scheduled to open in 2011, and construction of the dedicated cancer hospital will begin in 2010 with completion scheduled for 2013.
