"The Institute has established a network of interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research collaborations to increase the knowledge base of Institute faculty, enrich the environment for Institute graduate and undergraduate students, and increase the contacts and resources that support the continued growth of Institute programs."
The Texas Medical Center
Cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations within the Institute exist among scientists, bioengineers, and faculty from the Texas Medical Center and the Houston biotechnology industry as well as with re-searchers from other academic and government institutions and biotechnology companies across the country and around the world. This sharing of expertise leads to the development of new research opportunities and provides students the opportunity to expand their research skills and to learn to reach beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines.
