Driving Biological Projects
In general, driving biological projects (DBPs) are expected to be early adopters of the Center's technology and collaborate broadly with the center's activities. They help stimulate new creative ideas and applications for its technology, and provide feedback on existing endeavors. The key personnel of DBPs attend center project meetings, participate in regular teleconferences, and contribute to all aspects of their respective center.
NCBO has collaborated with researchers in DBPs representing a broad range of biomedical research endeavors. These projects were selected for their scientific merit in answering important biomedical questions and advancing their disciplines.
