The purpose of the NM-INBRE program is to strengthen biomedical research in New Mexico’s institutions of higher education and to prepare faculty and students for participation in the research programs of the NIH. The program is dedicated to helping create strong, supportive research environments for faculty and students, and facilitating communication and collaborations among these research institutions. The NM-INBRE includes two research-intensive doctoral degree granting institutions: New Mexico State University (NMSU), the lead institution, and the University of New Mexico (UNM), home to the Health Sciences Center, and nascent Clinical Translational Science Center. The scientific partner institutions include Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU), New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT), New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU), San Juan College (SJC), as well as the non-profit organizations National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) in Santa Fe, NM, and the Dialysis Clinc, Inc. in Albuquerque, NM.
Core Projects
Chemical Biology & Screening Collaborative Core (CBSC) Dr. Snezna Rogelj (NMT) The CBSC provides innovative research and training opportunities for faculty and students, who in turn produce novel technology, methodology and data with immediate applicability to projects from the NM-INBRE network.
Bioinformatics and Sequencing Core (BSC) Faye Schilkey (NCGR) The BSC benefits the next generation of biomedical scientists for the era of personalized medicine. The BSC will champion research projects within the NM-INBRE network and educational pipeline initiatives for universities, colleges, K-12, and teachers in the state of New Mexico.
Science Projects
Structure and Function The overarching goal is to understand at the molecular level the mechanisms underlying the functions of proteins that mediate critical cellular processes through detailed knowledge of their structures.
Cell and Organism The unifying objective is the elicidation of complex physiological processes, such as hypertension, memory, cell division and oogenesis.
Pathogens The Pathogens thematic area builds on existing strengths in infectious desease, immunology, inflammation, and a developing biodefense community.
When publishing any NM-INBRE supported article, book, chapter, poster, and etc., NCRR requires that the following statement(s) be added in the acknowledgement section. NM-INBRE support includes the use of all NM-INBRE assets such as instrumentation, computers, printers and other equipment.
“This publication was made possible by NIH Grant Number P20 RR016480 from the NM-INBRE Program of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),” or “The project described was supported by Grant Number RR-16480 from the NM-INBRE Program of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of NCRR or NIH.”
When printing support is provided by NM-INBRE, use the following statement: "This poster was printed by NM-INBRE, NIH NCRR Grant Number P20 RR018460."
If your institution plans to issue a press release concerning the outcome of NCRR grant-supported research, it should notify the NCRR Office of Communications at 301-435-0888 in advance to allow for coordination.
