Foundation for Advances in Therapeutics and Prevention (FATP), a Texas non-Profit organization, was started in 2005 by the founder and current medical director, Stephen K. Tyring, M.D., Ph.D.
​
The primary mission of the Foundation is as follows.
To help advance:
~ prevention and therapy of infectious and cutaneous diseases as well as related medical conditions
~ the understanding of treatments and vaccines
~ to inform the medical and lay public of these problems and treatments
The Foundation grew out of a busy laboratory specialty practice with a strong academic beat. Viral diseases are the focus for research projects of the Foundation. Certain projects are sponsored by industry and others are sponsored by the Foundation directly.
The Foundation is a self sustaining, independent operating Entity with a full charitable tax exemption (501c3). Funding is derived from donations, research grants, and Industry-sponsored contracts. Leadership is provided by a board of directors from the medical community.
