We are a multidisciplinary research center dedicated to the research and development of advanced biomaterials, devices and therapeutics for applications in the biomedical industry.
The CBR maintains a diverse collection of advanced research instruments and laboratory facilities that support biomedical research. These resources include specialized imaging systems, tissue culture and histology laboratories, and access to the Missouri S&T animal research facility.
Research in the CBR covers a variety of areas in biomedical engineering, including biomaterials, tissue engineering, biofabrication, biosensors, biomedical imaging, and biomedical therapeutics.
The Bioplex has been developed to provide a significant amount of flexible wet-bench laboratory space fitted out to support life science research. These research labs will be supported by the Center for Biomedical Research, which will be relocated and centralized to this building and serve as a core facility offering instrumentation support to the research teams both in the Bioplex and elsewhere on campus. A vivarium to complement the existing Schrenk West facility will also be provided and expand the capabilities on campus with a design capable of ABSL2 containment.
