Emergent Behaviors of Integrated Cellular Systems (EBICS)
Headquartered at MIT, the EBICS Center's research activities will take place at MIT, University of Illinois, and Georgia Tech, as well as at a number of other minority-serving institutions. Collectively, they will help create the knowledge, tools, and technologies to create highly sophisticated, 'programmed,' multi-cell engineered biological systems or machines.
Micro-Urban Champaign-Urbana
Home to one of the world's great public research universities, Champaign-Urbana has emerged as a leading exemplar of micro-urbanism.
The recently formed Division of Biomedical Sciences calibrates strengths in basic science and engineering into transformative clinical and health solutions.
The Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was established in 2003 to advance life science research and stimulate bio-economic development in the state of Illinois.
The Division of Nutritional Sciences is an interdisciplinary program for graduate education in nutrition. Extensive research opportunities are available that span the spectrum of nutritional sciences from the level of the genome and proteome to clinical and population-based studies.
The Department of Animal Sciences seeks to enhance the quality of life through excellence in teaching, research, and outreach programs. Programs are designed to enhance the profitability, efficiency and well-being of animals as related to their environment, to food and fiber production and consumption, and to animal and human activity.
Founded in 2003, the SGSC aims to advance biomedical research for animal production and health through the development of DNA-based tools and products stemming from sequencing the swine genome. This international consortium meets bi-annually to develop and integrate sequencing maps and strategies.
The Innovators Improv is a mechanism to engage innovative and creative individuals within the community to express and develop their ideas and concepts and to stimulate synergistic networks.
