COBRE

Welcome to the website for our Center for Biomedical Research Excellece (COBRE) Grant entitled Novel Approaches for Control of Microbial Pathogens. 

PI:  Joe Lutkenhaus, Ph.D.

Our COBRE was first funded in 2001 and then renewed in 2006. The objective of the center was to promote and to enhance the research capabilities of tenure track junior faculty members of participating institutions in the state of Kansas with emphasis on inhibiting microbial pathogens. The program has been highly successful during the first ten years with the awarding of 34 Project and faculty enhancement awards. 34 tenure track faculty have received awards and investigators supported by COBRE have obtained 46 NIH grants resulting in a total of over $40 million in new funding for the state of Kansas.

Additional areas that our COBRE supports include the Flow Cytometry Core Laboratory and a Seminar Series.

This grant was made possible by NIH Grant Number P20 RR016443 from the COBRE program of the National Center for Research Resources.
