Others centers + programs
KU has three National Institutes of Health-designated Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) programs, the Center for Genomics, a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center known as the Environmentally Applied Refrigerant Technology Hub (EARTH), and the Kansas NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
COBRE: Chemical Biology of Infectious Disease
The CBID Center strengthens infrastructure and enables scientists and biomedical research in Kansas.
COBRE: Center for Molecular Analysis of Disease Pathways
The CMADP conducts multidisciplinary research to develop and implement cutting-edge technologies for elucidating the genetic, chemical, and physical mechanisms of biological processes involved in disease.
COBRE: Leveraging Big Data to Improve Women's Health
By funding research projects, supporting faculty, improving lab facilities and boosting collaboration across scholarly fields, the center harnesses complex datasets to tackle biomedical issues vital to women.
Center for Genomics
The Center for Genomics coalesces KU researchers working in genomics into a collaborative group and supports and promotes genomics researchers through strategic initiatives.
Environmentally Applied Refrigerant Technology Hub
EARTH is a multi-institution, multi-disciplinary NSF Engineering Research Center creating a “sustainable refrigerant lifecycle” to address technical, environmental and societal challenges facing the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration industry.
