The Redox Biology Center (RBC)
is organized as a broad-based interdisciplinary and multi-institutional
entity involving researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
(UNL) and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha
(UNMC).
Objectives
The specific aims of the COBRE-supported Redox Biology Center (RBC)
are to buttress and expand the existing strengths in redox biology
in Nebraska by mentoring junior faculty to success, recruiting
new faculty with complementary research interests and strategically
enhancing biomedical research structure. Scientists are amalgamated
from two major research institutions in the state (UNL and UNMC).

RFA For Pilot Grants
The Nebraska Redox Biology Center (RBC), funded by a Center for
Biomedical Research Excellence grant from the NIH, has awarded
pilot funding to two applicants to our RFA request. The awardees
are Dr. Melanie Simpson, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at
UNL for her proposal "Redox Coordinated Extracellular
Matrix Remodeling in Cancer", and Dr. Dee Harrison-Findik,
Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology-Hepatology
Section at UNMC for her proposal "The Redox-mediated Regulation
of Iron-Responsive Gene Expression in the Liver". The
primary objective of this program is to stimulate research in the
area of redox biology and to enhance competitiveness in obtaining
extramural support. Learn

Membership
The Redox Biology Center welcomes applications from faculty
at UNL or UNMC who are interested in being considered for membership.
We are particularly interested in further broadening our base to
include members whose research interests are in the general area
of redox biology and who would benefit from and contribute to the
activities sponsored by the RBC. Faculty interested in becoming
a member of the Center should contact Dr. Vadim Gladyshev (vgladyshev1@unl.edu or
402-472-2941)
