James Takacs and Concetta DiRusso of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has earned an $11 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish a research center focused on investigating cellular level miscommunications that contribute to complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes and chronic liver disease.
A five-year grant from NIH’s Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) program will support UNL’s Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication, or CIBC. The NIH COBRE program funds health-related research and fosters faculty development and research infrastructure.

New center focuses on biomolecular communication
In August, Nebraska earned an $11.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Center for Integrated Biomolecular Communication as an NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, or COBRE. The center focuses on cellular level miscommunications that contribute to complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes and chronic liver disease. Watch the video.
