Major Programs

Several large, multi-investigator, collaborative, multidisciplinary research grants, such as NIH-supported Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and Specialized Centers, grants are part of the HBC structure. These centers have focused their resources in the area of training new faculty on how to compete for research grants, how to set up their laboratories, and how to establish collaborations across disciplines. They are:
 

• Center for Biomedical Research Excellence in Protein Structure and Function (COBRE PSF) »
• Center for Biomedical Research Excellence in Molecular Analysis of Disease Pathways (COBRE CMADP) »
• Center for Biomedical Research Excellence in Chemical Biology of Infectious Disease (COBRE CBID) »
• KU Alzheimer’s Disease Center - Mitochondrial Genomics and Metabolism (MGM) Core »
