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).
2010 Redox Biology Summer REU Program Registration Available

JUNIOR & SENIOR
FACULTY POSITIONS AVAILABLE
The Department of Biochemistry and Redox Biology Center are currently
expanding its faculty in fundamental biomedical research and invites
applications for three tenure-leading positions.

2009 Pilot Grant Awardees
The Nebraska Redox Biology Center (RBC) received 13 pilot proposals
this year and has awarded pilot funding to two proposals received
– one to Dr. Keshore Bidasee, with the Pharmacology and Experimental
Neuroscience Department at UNMC for his proposal entitled "Reactive
Carbonyl Species and Cerebral Microvascular Diseases" and one
to Dr. Gregor Grass, with the School of Biological Science at UNL for
his proposal entitled "Mode of Action of Redox-active Copper Surfaces
Against Microbes". Congratulations to our new awardees!!
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. Donald Becker (dbecker3@unl.edu or 402-472-9652).
