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.
Research Projects
The center is committed to fostering the development of early-career scientists. Through its Project Leader and Pilot Project Award programs, it offers mentorship, financial support, and access to core facilities. These initiatives aim to equip researchers with the skills and resources necessary to advance in their careers and contribute to the field of cancer therapy research.
Research ProjectsResearch and Administrative Cores
The Center is managed by an administrative core. Two research technical cores support investigators from within the COBRE Center, from UAMS and outside users.
