About CTPH
CTPH is a public/private partnership led by Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and the University of Houston (UH). It provides research support by creating an integrated network of research service cores and community organizations. UH and BCM have collective strengths in translational research, basic science discovery, health informatics, pharmaceutical sciences, education, and community-engaged research. These strengths are leveraged to develop, demonstrate, and disseminate health-focused innovations across Texas and the US.
The Consortium connects healthcare organizations public health agencies, and community-based organizations, all of which serve one of the most racially and economically diverse populations in the country, fertile ground for developing the innovations that ultimately advance precision health and reduce health disparities.
Vision
CTPH is regional and national hub providing infrastructure, services, community engagement, and workforce development to achieve precision health-delivering the right intervention to the right person at the right time-broadly and equitably to improve both population and individual health.
