The Center supports interdisciplinary Scientific Teams that span the continuum between basic research and practical solutions to challenges in four main Strategic Areas. Teams can be self-formed as our Scientific Teams are or initiated by an interesting question posed to our faculty. This could be in the form of a grant opportunity, industry sponsor, or any other opportunity.
