COBRE Overview
The COBRE Center for Studies of Host Response to Cancer Therapy is a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded initiative aimed at understanding the biological mechanisms underlying side effects of cancer therapies. The center focuses on identifying methods for early detection and developing strategies to prevent or treat these adverse effects. It supports both junior and mid-career faculty through Project Leader and Pilot Project Award programs, providing financial assistance and access to specialized research facilities.
Research Focus Areas
The center’s research encompasses a range of projects that examine how cancer therapies impact normal tissues and organs. These studies aim to elucidate the mechanisms behind treatment-related toxicities and to develop interventions to mitigate these effects.
Pilot Projects
Through its Project Leader and Pilot Project Award programs, the center offers mentorship, financial support, and access to core facilities.
Research and Administrative Cores
The Center is managed by an administrative core. Research technical cores support investigators from within the COBRE Center, from UAMS and outside users.
