Tumor Microenvironment CoBRE Overview
The objective of the Tumor Microenvironment Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (TME CoBRE) is to create a scientifically rigorous and well-supported environment in which researchers will gain independence. The researchers at West Virginia University Health Sciences Center collectively collaborate to maintain the high standard of scientific culture and structure while striving for innovative and synergistic approaches to research.
CoBRE Community at WVU Health Sciences Center
The CoBRE supports the development of a Center of Excellence within the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center (HSC) that focuses on studies of the tumor microenvironment (TME). We are expanding our three existing Cores here while mentoring and supporting new and junior faculty within our programmatic, multidisciplinary themes. Principal Investigators are required to submit prior approval requests for any publication co-authored with individual(s) affiliated with a foreign institution(s). Prior approval requests may be made per NOT-OD-26-026.
Events
Ongoing events in support of the TME CoBRE are intended to create a rich scientific and academic environment through harmonious partnerships between researchers at WVU HSC, WV Clinical and Translational Science Institute (WVCTSI) and the WV Cancer Institute. Past events include networking meetings in which researchers are encouraged to discuss resources, shared facilities, lab equipment, and upcoming plans and goals of collaboration. In addition, these events strengthen a cooperative spirit of team science.
