Who We Are
Biofrontiers-UCCS is a center for research on the UCCS campus.
The initial focus will use the techniques of physics to work on biological problems.
By bridging the fields of biology and physics, we hope to provide new ways of seeing and manipulating nature.
This can lead to:
· new diagnostic tools,
· new therapeutic treatments,
· significant improvements in human health and well-being
Current faculty members directly involved with the Center at UCCS are from the physics department. Funding is in place to hire new personnel, beginning with a lab manager and post-doctoral researchers in bio-physics.
