NE-INBRE at UNK
BRIN (Biomedical Researach in Nebraska)
What is INBRE?
INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence)is a project supported by the National Institute of Health (IDeA is from Institutional Development Award).
The primary focus of INBRE is to enhance the competitiveness of
biomedical research in Nebraska by supporting the training of students
and the research efforts of faculty.
