COBRE, Epigenomics of Development and Disease
The Epigenetics Working Group unites multiple research teams using different conceptual frameworks and experimental approaches to study epigenetic mechanisms regulating development and aging. Using a wide range of experimental systems, research teams are aiming to uncover how exposure to developmental and environmental stress leads to the accumulation of genome-wide epigenetic changes and whether these changes […]
Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development
Overall Center Organization and Management Plan The goal of the Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development is to establish and expand physical and intellectual resources at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the University of Nebraska system that will catalyze the ability of its faculty to define, validate, and develop potential […]
Harnessing Movement Variability to Treat and Prevent Motor Related Disorders
In COBRE Phase I we established the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability (MOVCENTR) allowing the development of a strong critical mass of investigators and tremendous growth in terms of research infrastructure with world class facilities and resources such as the Biomechanics Research Building with its associated technologies and methodologies as well as the […]
Nebraska Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) seeks to foster collaborative interdisciplinary research to enhance its biomedical research infrastructure in the molecular life sciences. Building on the success of two prior UNL Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBREs), it is proposed to establish the Nebraska Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication (CIBC). The proper regulation of biomolecular communication […]
Translational Hearing Center
Overall Plan for the Translational Hearing Center This Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) application is to establish the Translational Hearing Center, administered by centrally-located Creighton University, with Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), as institutional partners. Our overall goal is to build a critical mass of […]
Rural Drug Addiction Research Center
The nature and challenge of illicit drug use in the United States continues to change rapidly, evolving in reaction to myriad social, economic, and local forces. While drug addiction affects every region of the country, most information about drug use comes from large urban areas. Emerging data on rural addiction and its harms justify greater […]
Cognitive Neuroscience of Development and Aging Center
Overall Component This application for a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) would initiate a formal Center to lead, support, and expand neuroimaging and clinical cognitive neuroscience research in Nebraska, with an emphasis on lifespan development. It is an opportune moment for human neuroscience research in the Omaha community, regionally, and across the world, with […]
Center for Perception and Communication in Children
CENTER FOR PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION IN CHILDREN The goal of Phase II of the Center for Perception and Communication in Children (CPCC), our Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) at the Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) in Omaha, Nebraska, is to expand the range of the current research program by providing a unique environment […]
Great Plains IDeA-CTR
The Great Plains is a vast, rural region with pockets of urban development. Geographic and social isolation- combined with lack of access to primary and specialized care in both rural and underserved urban areas- characterizes some of our most vulnerable populations Our objective is to develop a robust, networked research infrastructure to nurture, develop, and […]
Nebraska Research Network in Functional Genomics
Overall Component Project Summary The mission of the Nebraska IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (NE-INBRE) is to stimulate and develop biomedical research capacity at institutions of higher education in Nebraska. The NE-INBRE is structured around two major components: primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and PhD granting research institutions (RIs). Support for each PUI consists of: […]
