ARPA-H, a new federal biotech research agency, will establish a headquarters and customer experience hub in Dallas, bringing jobs and cementing the region as a biotech hub.

The hub will be located at Pegasus Park but involve partners across Texas including Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and more.

Dallas beat out other bids including Houston's Texas Medical Center to land the ARPA-H hub after months of advocacy by local leaders.

The hub leverages Texas' diversity and will focus on diversifying clinical trials and improving access for ARPA-H projects.
