Biomedical Biotechnology Research Institute

NCCU's Julius L. Chambers Biomedical Biotechnology Research Institute (JLC-BBRI) is an innovative research and training Institute dedicated to the advancement of fundamental knowledge of human diseases, particularly those that disproportionately affect under-represented minority groups. The JLC-BBRI facility provides 40,000 sq. ft. of basic research space, which includes eleven modern research laboratories. Additional research support facilities include warm and cold rooms, cell culture laboratories, an animal facility, and computing and visualization laboratories. The JLC-BBRI is equipped with fiber optic wiring which connects every building on the NCCU campus to the North Carolina Research and Education.

The JLC-BBRI is supported by NCCU and through a variety of other public and private sources. Investigator-initiated RO1 grants, cooperative agreements, and training grants with various federal agencies constitute the major sources of research and training funds for the JLC-BBRI. Through cooperative agreements and a strategic partnerships initiative, the Institute is also expanding its research and training activities with help from academic institutions, foundations, and private industry.
