About HBC

At the Higuchi Biosciences Center, our mission is two-fold: to foster an environment conducive to interdisciplinary, biomedical research, and to contribute to the economic development of the state of Kansas by commercializing the technologies resulting from that research.

In practical terms, this means:

  1. relieving our participating researchers of the non-scientific work involved in grant writing, submission, and administration.
  2. providing funding incentives for multi-investigator, interdisciplinary projects.
  3. offering personnel services, including assistance with searches and visa applications.
  4. providing laboratory space and opportunities for equipment sharing.
  5. pursuing external funding for the support of product development activities.

As a hub for basic research, we keep a finger on the pulse of cutting-edge discovery; as a center charged with economic development, we strive for the speedy translation of new discoveries into commercial opportunities for the state of Kansas.
