Mission
The Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) was founded in 1985 and research started in 1986 to advance knowledge in the life sciences for the improvement of human health. CABM is jointly administered by the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Completed in 1990, the 100,000 square foot CABM building is centrally located on the Busch/Piscataway campus. Programs include:
Research
Faculty conduct basic research in cell and developmental biology, molecular genetics, and structural biology to improve understanding of fundamental life processes. CABM researchers interact with clinical scientists to bring laboratory discoveries rapidly to patient care.
Teaching
CABM faculty train undergraduate, graduate, and medical students and postdoctoral fellows for leadership roles in science and technology.
Service
CABM serves the public interest by enhancing economic development through corporate collaborations in research and education, by technology transfers, and through consultations. It is designated by the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology as a New Jersey Advanced Technology Center.
Research interests of faculty at CABM are detailed in the following pages. Faculty have a primary appointment in a department of either Rutgers University or the UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Some faculty members are also affiliated with other institutes including the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
