The IBBS is supporting and creating interdisciplinary research groups in key scientific areas. The first such group is the High Throughput Biology Center, or HiT Center, which includes research and service in proteomics, microarray, gene and protein synthesis and sequencing and compound screening technologies. The next centers to be established will come from proposals that are due November 30, 2004. Another round of proposals will be considered in Spring 2005. In addition to these interdiciplinary groups, the Credentialing Services Office and the Basic Sciences Network Office (password protected site) provide invaluable assistance to the faculty and staff of the basic sciences. |
