NIH grants $11 million to Brown University for cancer research

ion, powerful microscopes were purchased along with sophisticated instruments to study gene activity and protein structure.

These tools are used not only to study cancer, but also fertility, aging and brain development as well as heart disease, diabetes and addiction.

Brown was among the first universities to establish a COBRE, which are led by senior scientists who direct multidisciplinary efforts that focus on a theme, such as neuroscience or immunology. Training young researchers and creating core facilities are other goals of the program, which is operated by the National Center for Research Resources within the NIH.

Rhode Island Hospital, Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, and Roger Williams Medical Center also operate a COBRE. Together, these four Rhode Island centers have received nearly $53 million to investigate cancer, stem cells and fetal and newborn heart and lung development.

"These awards have all but transformed the research capabilities of our life and health sciences community," Adashi said.
