Mission

The objective of the New Mexico IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (NM-INBRE) program is to increase collaborative, multidisciplinary biomedical research at New Mexico's institutions of higher education and the National Center for Genome Resources in Santa Fe, NM. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Research Resources, investigators focus on understanding the molecular events and mechanisms underlying the functions of proteins that mediate critical cellular processes, elucidate complex physiological processes such as hypertension, memory, cell division, spermatogenesis and oogenesis, and participate in research involving infectious disease, immunology, and inflammation. The proposed investigations are complementary to existing research in New Mexico, and create the potential for new investigators to join established networks of experienced scientists and establish the "critical mass" necessary for multidisciplinary and multi-investigator initiatives.
