Published: Monday, August 20, 2007 - 22:00 The new MOU updates an existing relationship between NIST’s chemical science and technology laboratory and the University of Maryland that dates from 1985, when they joined with Montgomery County, Maryland, to establish the Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology, a joint-research venture emphasizing work on the relationship between structure and function in biomolecules and the development of new technologies for the measurement, analysis, and design of biomolecules. “Our relationship with CARB over the past two decades has helped us to focus our significant investment in bioscience,” NIST Director William Jeffrey says. “Bioscience is one of the great frontiers of our time, and we look to this partnership to help us meet the challenges of that frontier.” “UMBI researchers and our colleagues at NIST have produced many fruitful collaborations,” adds UMBI President Jennie Hunter-Cevera. “As a partner with both the biotechnology industry and many federal agencies including NIST, UMBI is a key component in the continued growth of an important industrial sector for our region, nation, and the world.” Under the new agreement, the scope of the relationship will include all four research centers under UMBI and all research laboratories at NIST. The MOU, which provides a general framework for future joint activities, allows for: In addition to CARB in Rockville, Maryland, the UMBI system includes the Center for Biosystems Research, the Center of Marine Biotechnology, and the Medical Biotechnology Center. NIST facilities include the NIST Center for Neutron Research, the Advanced Chemical Sciences Laboratory, the Advanced Measurement Laboratory, and the Hollings Marine Laboratory.
