Biogeoscience, Interdisciplinary Program in

The Biogeoscience Program is a community of students, postdocs, and faculty whose research interests converge at the boundaries of traditional natural science disciplines. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary research and coursework, focusing on the biogeochemistry and biogeophysics of natural and managed ecosystems, with faculty and students drawn from the departments of biology and earth & environment. Research and […]

Biological Design Center

The Biological Design Center brings together disparate research areas to create disruptive ideas and biomedical technologies, drawing in scientists from industry and academia to tinker, invent, and discover under the center’s auspices. Spanning synthetic biology, cell and tissue assembly, systems biology, computational biology, and sophisticated modeling, the Biological Design Center is positioned to lead this […]

Center for Regenerative Medicine

The Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) is a joint effort between Boston University and Boston Medical Center that brings together seven principal investigators addressing various aspects of developmental biology, stem cells, regeneration and injury, cell lineage specification and disease modeling with a major focus on induced Pluripotent Stem Cells or iPSCs.

Center for Systems Neuroscience (CSN)

The Center for Systems Neuroscience provides an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental structure to promote research, foster collaboration, and enhance recruitment of new researchers in systems neuroscience at Boston University. The center includes over 70 faculty in multiple colleges and departments on both the Charles River Campus and Medical Campus.

National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories

At Boston University’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL), microbiologists, virologists, and other scientists have dropped their routine research projects to focus on the critical search for vaccines and treatments for COVID-19, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world. 

Cardiovascular Proteomics Center

The Boston University Cardiovascular Proteomics Center (CPC) is a research center funded by the NIH/NHLBI to analyze and identify proteins that may be modified or created by cardiovascular disease (CVD) brought on by unfavorable metabolic conditions and diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. The CPC is developing and applying a targeted proteomic approach and bioinformatics […]

BioMolecular Engineering Research Center

The BioMolecular Engineering Research Center works to develop and apply computational methods for the analysis and design of structures, functions, interactions, regulation and evolution of biological macromolecules; and to use such understanding to contribute to the advancement of modern biological, engineering and medical sciences. In meeting these objectives, the BMERC is continually developing new computer-assisted […]

Center for Biomedical Mass Spectrometry

The primary goal of the Boston University Center for Biomedical Mass Spectrometry is to develop and disseminate methods and instrumentation to meet emerging bioanalytical needs; the research is investigator-initiated and is not intended to provide a core laboratory function. 

Amyloidosis Center

The Amyloidosis Center at the BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center is recognized internationally as a leader in basic and clinical research on amyloidosis and related diseases. Its mission is to serve as a referral center for evaluation and treatment of patients with amyloid diseases, coordinating center for clinical trials and laboratory research on systemic […]
