The Nebraska Center for Cellular Signaling (NCCS) was formed
in the fall of 2003 creating a Center of Biomedical Research Excellent
(CoBRE) under the IdeA program, which is funded by the National Institutes
of Health and the National Center for Research Resources. This Center,
through the collaborations of the University of Nebraska Medical Center,
Creighton School of Medicine, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
will be the focal point for fostering new research initiatives dedicated
to improving the oral and dental health of Nebraskans and citizens of
other states. Junior and established researchers at these institutions
conduct innovative and collaborative research efforts supported by the
Center. This Center presents a strong mentoring environment to attract
and promote the development of promising investigators.
Focus
A number of areas within the field of cell biology are rapidly converging on a common theme: cellular signal transduction. This is particularly true for the fields of cell adhesion, cell motility and cancer biology. The main focus of this Center is to bring together individuals studying signal transduction to form an organized, cohesive group that will provide leadership and mentoring to junior faculty interested in signaling. |
Research
The project leaders of this Center share interests in cell motility, cell adhesion, growth regulation, apoptosis, metastasis, and invasion. A thread that ties this group together is their desire to understand signaling pathways that impact cellular behavior as well as the underlying theme of signaling through adhesion receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases. |
