As we step into our new roles as Co-Directors of CCBM, we thank our Founding Director, M. N. V. Ravi Kumar, for establishing the center in 2021 and building its foundation.
CCBM is a unique transdisciplinary research center devoted to conducting, supporting, and encouraging bioscience and medicine. Because 21st-century healthcare challenges demand horizontal innovation to bridge the gap, we bring together faculty leaders across applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, biochemistry, biological sciences, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, drug delivery, machine learning, neuroscience, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, polymer chemistry, psychology, and social behavior.
Our research spans from new drug discovery to drug repurposing aided by novel drug delivery strategies, leading to therapies for immuno-inflammatory diseases. We also remain committed to training the next generation of scientists within a multidisciplinary setting to meet changing industry paradigms.
Located on the second floor of the AIME building in over 8,000 square feet of lab space equipped with world-class facilities including bioanalytical, polymer, molecular biology, experimental therapeutics, and histology suites we stand ready to solve difficult drug discovery and development problems.
Industry and academic partners are always welcome to collaborate with us. We invite you to discover all we have to offer as we lead CCBM into its next phase and expand our impact across the UA community and beyond.
Thank you for your continued support.
