Interdepartmental
Research Areas
The faculty of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
are also engaged in various interdepartmental efforts,
including:
THE
BIOMEDICAL HEALTH SCIENCES INSTITUTE (BHSI) facilitates
and promotes interdisciplinary research and instructional
efforts at UGA in the fields of biomedical and health
sciences with the goal of improving the understanding
of human health and disease.
THE CANCER CENTER
promotes interdisciplinary research in basic tumor biology,
cancer education and prevention, early diagnosis and
translational research and care.
THE
CENTER FOR METALLOENZYME STUDIES (CMS) consists
of numerous University of Georgia faculty from various
disciplines and departments, all of whom have research
interests in the study of metals in biology.
THE
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATE RESEARCH CENTER (CCRC) conducts
basic research to study the structure and function of
complex carbohydrates, and trains scientists from the
U.S. and around the world in the principles, methods,
and analytical techniques used to study complex carbohydrates.
THE
GEORGIA X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY CENTER aims to develop
new approaches and techniques in X-ray crystallography
for an improved understanding of how structure relates
to function in biological macromolecules.
THE
INSTITUTE OF BIOINFORMATICS provides resources in
genomics, proteomics and glycomics.
THE
PLANT CENTER is focused on the cellular and molecular
aspects of plant growth and development, plant genome
organization and function, the application of molecular
and genetic tools to improve cultivated plants, and
in understanding organisms that interact with plants.
THE
SOUTHEAST COLLABORATORY FOR STRUCTURAL GENOMICS (SECSG)
is one of seven original pilot centers for structural
genomics established by the NIH. It aims to develop,
integrate, and test all of the constituents for carrying
out cost-effective and high throughput structural genomics
research.
THE SOUTHEAST COLLABORATORY
FOR HIGH-FIELD BIOMOLECULAR NMR is an inter-institutional
resource dedicated to the development and application
of new NMR methods for biomolecular studies. It provides
900 MHz NMR access in addition to existing 800 MHz access.
