National Natural Toxins Research Center

The mission of the National Natural Toxins Research Center (NNTRC) is to provide global research, training & resources that will lead to the discovery of medically important toxins found in snake venoms. As the only federally-funded viper research center in the nation, the National Natural Toxins Research Center at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is focused on identifying the next generation of drug therapies to advance life-saving treatment of heart attacks, stroke, snakebites, and more.

We need your help!

We are asking you to give back to the NNTRC, to help meet the challenge of taking the next giant leap for our students and our community.

Your gift to the NNTRC will fund student research and  scholarships. The research being done through your support will focus on student led investigation of natural toxins and their biomedical uses. Doctors and scientists throughout the world use our discoveries to develop methods, medicines, and medical devices to save and enhance patient lives.
