Brain Research Institute –
http://www.bri.ucla.edu
(top of page) |
| The BRI’s goal is for UCLA to become
the preeminent center of excellence for neuroscience research
and education and for the “translation” of
research into clinical and technological applications.
In the next five years, its efforts will focus on four
areas of neuroscience: (1) learning, memory, and plasticity;
(2) neural repair; (3) neuroengineering; and (4) neurogenetics.
UCLA’s strength in these areas comes from multidisciplinary
efforts to understand the nervous system at multiple levels
with diverse technologies. These efforts depend on the
close cooperation of all neuroscience units on campus.

|
| The University of California at Los Angeles
and University of California at Santa Barbara have joined
to build the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI),
which will facilitate a multidisciplinary approach to
develop the information, biomedical, and manufacturing
technologies that will dominate science and the economy
in the 21st century. |

|
| CENS, a NSF Science & Technology Center,
is developing Embedded Networked Sensing Systems and applying
this revolutionary technology to critical scientific and
social applications. Like the Internet, these large-scale,
distributed, systems, composed of smart sensors and actuators
embedded in the physical world, will eventually infuse
the entire world, but at a physical level instead of virtual. |

|
| The Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging
(CIMI) brings together scientists who share a common interest
in developing and using state-of-the-art imaging technology
and developing molecular imaging assays for studying biological
systems. Enter the world of molecular imaging and learn
about the Crump Institute's role in developing new imaging
technology and methodology for use in the biological sciences.

Institute for Cell Mimetic Space
Exploration (CMISE) -
http://www.cmise.org/
(top of page)
|
| CMISE is dedicated to interdisciplinary
research and education involving participants from engineering,
physical and life sciences, and medicine. The CMISE co-PIs
are world-class researchers who have pioneered many of
the fundamental technologies, which serve as the basic
components for bio-nano-information fusion. The Institute
for Cell Mimetic Space Exploration (CMISE) will identify,
develop, promote, and commercialize nano-, bio-, and information
technologies for sensing, control, and integration of
complex multilevel natural and artificial systems. |

Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics
–
http://www.ipam.ucla.edu
(top of page)
|
| The overall mission of the Institute for
Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) is to make connections
between a broad spectrum of mathematicians and scientists,
to launch new collaborations, to better inform mathematicians
and scientists about interdisciplinary problems, and to
broaden the range of applications in which mathematics
is used. |

The Weintraub Center for Reconstructive
Biotechnology -
http://www.weintraub.dent.ucla.edu/
(top of page)
|
| The Weintraub Center is dedicated to making
this goal a reality. By vastly improving the quality of
life for countless individuals who suffer from the ravages
of disfigurement, the Weintraub Center will assume its
rightful place among other laboratories in the world over
which are renowned for ongoing contributions to biomedical
research and patient care. The mission of The Weintraub
Center is to develop methods to improve the quality of
life for people who have experienced loss of oral or facial
structures secondary to cancer, trauma or birth defects.
Interdisciplinary research collaborations between investigators
with the basic science expertise and clinical resources
will effectively translate molecular, cellular and organ
characteristics of tissue damage and repair processes
into reconstructive approaches for child and adult patients.
Specific initial aims will be to develop a "bench-to-chairside"
research effort featuring the integrated practice of discovery,
application, and clinical assessment. |
