A number of participating faculty have primary appointments in clinical as well as basic science departments, bringing a broad perspective of contemporary problems in cell, molecular and biomedical sciences.
The research enterprise in the CMB Program is well-funded by extramural support in the form of individual research awards, program projects grants, and pre- and post-doctoral training grants. Funding sources include the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, American Heart Association, USDA, DOD and NASA. Large interdisciplinary, multi-investigator grants fund research projects in cancer biology, cardiovascular biology and cell motility, environmental pathology, immunobiology, neuroscience, and pulmonary function and disease.
In addition, students have access to cutting-edge equipment and focused training in our core facilities. These facilities include the Bioinformatics, X-Ray Crystallography, DNA Analysis, Flow Cytometry, and Microscopy and Imaging.
