A Welcome Message
UNMC has one of the strongest and rapidly growing biomedical research program in the country, excelling in the areas of cancer biology, cardiovascular diseases, neuroscience, genetics, bio-terrorism preparedness, transplant and stem cell therapy and advanced biomedical technology. These areas of research are complemented by world-class centers for transplantation (Lied Transplantation Center), cancer (Eppley Cancer Center) and genetics (Center for Human Molecular Genetics) and newly established, federally funded centers for cell signaling, neurovirology/neurodegeneration and neurosensory systems. The success of the program is reflected in extramural grants and contracts totaling more than $76 million annually and a $77 million Durham Research Center, a 10 storey state-of-the-art research building containing 116 research laboratories and several core facilities supporting the biomedical research. To accommodate the rapidly growing research program, groundbreaking for a new multi-storey research tower will take place early next year.
The Office of Postdoctoral Affair will serve as a liaison between you and the University’s administration, addressing your needs and concerns, and providing further career development opportunities through different workshops/seminars during your training period. In addition, it is the starting point for you for information, directions and resources that will make your transition to UNMC easy.
Once again, I welcome you to UNMC, and wish you success.
Sincerely,
Iqbal Ahmad, Ph.D. Associate Dean UNMC Postdoctoral Scholar Education Professor Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences 402-559-4044
