Abstract

COBRE Center for Microbiome Sciences: Alterations and Renovations Project Summary. We propose to renovate and improve two existing laboratories at the Departments of Microbiology (B324/B324A) and Anatomy & Neurobiology (A502). Lab B324/B324A will be renovated to house the COBRE Puerto Rico Center for Microbiome Sciences (PR-CMS) Research Core Laboratory. Lab A502 will be renovated as a Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology research laboratory for a new hire. These renovations of approximately 1,675 sq ft of laboratory space at the School of Medicine of the Medical Sciences Campus will be key to advance the COBRE PR-CMS aims at fostering development of meritorious junior investigators into competitive researchers working on projects with broad biomedical significance, and establish the only a facility in the island to directly support the development of microbiome research projects.
