Nevada COBRE

Company/Organization profile

Our COBRE center, funded by the National Center for Research Resources, aims to make discoveries in basic science that can be applied in the clinical setting in order to improve patient care. Through collaboration between the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine and Biology department, the center supports the recruitment, mentoring and development of junior scientists who will become the leaders of tomorrow.

Located in Northern Nevada at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), this center is funded by a $10 million grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The center integrates the research activities of faculty in three different departments and two colleges at the University and significantly enhances the Universities’ research infrastructure and environment by establishing or expanding state-of-the-art scientific cores. The COBRE’s five research projects are a strong stimulus to integrate the Universities’ research in cell biology, developmental biology, signaling, and neuroscience and foster collaborations between basic scientists and clinicians.
