Biomedical Research Focus
Class working on cell culture for a molecular toxicology lab
Interface Environmental Agents and Disease
The research is focused on the interface of the environment and disease. We investigate the chemical and microbial agents that cause disease and fundamental cell biology that may be relevant to their impacts.
The Alaska biomedical research network includes the three campuses of the University of Alaska Anchorage , Fairbanks and Southeast ( Juneau ) and the State of Alaska Division of Public Health.
Our Anchorage campus places particular emphasis on health providers and clinical/translational applications.
Biomedical Academic Focus
Graduate students discuss toxicology science during a specialized summer sessions class
Support of Students
Graduate and Undergraduate Students: Seeking Doctoral, Master, Bachelor degrees in biological sciences and working with an INBRE supported faculty members.
Students are eligible to apply for funding to support travel to conferences and specialized training. There are also research fellowships available on a competitive basis.
Biomedical Community Focus
RAHI student pipets samples into gel electopheresis equipment to identify bands of traget DNA
Building a Biomedical Pipeline
Our connection to Alaskan communities is through working with children in grade school through high school. Our future biomedical scientist and health care professional are youngsters in grades K-12.
Through our outreach activities we seek to ignite the passion for science and general learning. Our expertise is biomedical research with a focus on molecular biology. Students in high school (11th- 12th grades) have the opportunity to participate in real time research through summer programs located at on the Fairbanks campus through the Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI).
Younger students can attend the Alaska Summer Research Academy (ASRA) on the Fairbanks campus to explore health careers or physiological research or any number of other science experiences.
