 Temple, Texas – October 16, 2006 – The Temple Health & Bioscience District, devoted to the development and creation of health and bioscience/biotechnology opportunities within the City of Temple, is proud to welcome Walter P. Dyck, M.D. as a Senior Advisor.
Dr. Dyck will be working with the District on specific projects that will further allow it to achieve its long terms goals. He has served as Chief Academic Officer for Scott & White and most recently as Executive Associate Dean for the Texas A&M System Health Science Center College of Medicine until his retirement in March 2006.
“I am delighted to be associated with the Health & Bioscience District as it continues to play a prominent role in the evolution of Temple as a major center of biomedical research and biotechnology development. The city of Temple with its superb academic health care facilities, expanding biomedical research and its central location on the I-35 corridor is ideally positioned to become a magnet for attracting bioscience industry,” says Dyck.
“The Board of the Bioscience District is very pleased to have Dr. Wally Dyck join us as we work to bring bioscience/biotech initiatives to Temple. Wally brings vast experience and knowledge of both the principles and the entities that are critical to the success of our efforts. We will be a better organization with his input and participation in our efforts. This relationship will be good for the District and for the community of Temple,” adds Wendell C. Williams, Chairman of the Bioscience District.
Temple holds a unique distinction in Texas and in the U.S. as home to six centers for medical services, educational and clinical research, and agri-business research. The District’s commitment is to the continual growth and development of a dynamic community which is at the forefront of research, jobs and technology within the health and bioscience industry. The District, in conjunction with the City of Temple and the Temple Economic Development Corporation is continually working to aide in the establishment of long-range plans, develop new initiatives and assist in on-going projects.
