Redox Biology Center (RBC)

Ninth Annual Redox Biology Center Minisymposium

The Good Side of ROS in Living Organisms

Summer REU Program

Join a lab this summer for an intense research experience. Application Deadline is March 1, 2012.

International Redox Biology Graduate Course

Come to Sweden with the Redox Biology Center June 11-15, 2012.

The Redox Biology Center (RBC) is organized as a broad-based interdisciplinary and multi-institutional entity involving researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha (UNMC). The RBC is funded by the National Institute of Health grant P20 RR017675 from the COBRE program of the National Center for Research Resources.
 

The specific aims of the COBRE-supported Redox Biology Center (RBC) are to buttress and expand the existing strengths in redox biology in Nebraska by mentoring junior faculty to success, recruiting new faculty with complementary research interests and strategically enhancing biomedical research structure. Scientists are amalgamated from two major research institutions in the state (UNL and UNMC).

BIOC 998 Course Applications Due February 1, 2012

The summer redox graduate course, Redox Regulation, Oxidative Stress and Selenoproteins, is a joint training experience encompassing an international exchange with students and lecturers from the Karolinska Institutet (KI) and the Redox Biology Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.   This year's course will be held in Stockholm, Sweden at the Karolinska Institutet.

2012 Redox Biology Summer REU Program Applications Due March 1, 2012

The Nebraska Redox Biology Center is offering qualified undergraduates an opportunity to pursue independent research projects in redox biochemistry. Research areas range from molecular medicine to environmental biochemistry and plant biochemistry. Students will participate in exciting projects at the cutting edge of research in redox biology.

Membership

The Redox Biology Center welcomes applications from faculty at UNL or UNMC who are interested in being considered for membership. We are particularly interested in further broadening our base to include members whose research interests are in the general area of redox biology and who would benefit from and contribute to the activities sponsored by the RBC. Faculty interested in becoming a member of the Center should contact Dr. Donald Becker (dbecker3@unl.edu or 402-472-9652).

Redox Textbook

Redox Biochemistry Textbook Published

John Wiley and Sons has published a textbook on Redox Biochemistry that was edited by Ruma Banerjee, former Director of the Redox Biology Center and cowritten by members of the Center along with additional experts in the field that is targeted for graduate students. Redox Biochemistry is an area that is recognized to be of increasing importance in normal and pathophysiological processes, and a textbook that represents this focal area is presently lacking. The book is organized into six sections each coordinated by one of the Associate Editors who include Donald Becker (Antioxidant Molecules and Redox Cofactors), Vadim Gladyshev (Antioxidant Enzymes), Martin Dickman (Redox Regulation of Physiological Processes), Ruma Banerjee (Pathophysiological Processes Related to Redox Changes) and Stephen Ragsdale (Specialized Methods).
