BioCurrents Research Center

The BioCurrents Research Center (BRC) is a competitively funded National Resource of the National Institutes of Health (NIH:NCRR) which designs and develops instrumentation for biomedical research. The BRC specializes in the development and utilization of a range of technologies to examine the chemical profiles of the living cell, specifically within the complex and dynamic boundary layer. The technologies are employed by in-house researchers and collaborators from around the world to address a range of human health issues including diabetes, infertility and degenerative diseases. Click here for a more detailed overview of the Center and its research activities.
As a National Resource, the BRC hosts visiting investigators and makes its technology available for research projects with a particular focus on biomedical issues. For more information, contact the director, Peter J.S. Smith, PhD.

The BRC is located in Woods Hole, MA at the MBL and is a member of the Program in Molecular Physiology, also directed by Dr. Smith.

The Center's structure and research activitieas are highlighted in the pages listed on the left. Inventories of technology and equipment (both BRC and general use), information on acquiring BRC systems, printable protocols and tutorials, databases, as well as a complete list of BRC publications can also be found here.

Detailed descriptions of center activities can be found in the subject lists to the right. Technologies currently being developed by the BRC are described by function. Projects being pursued by in-house researchers and collaborators are categorized by research area. The project pages hold lists of titles related to each subject which are then linked to more detailed information about the specific investigator or group and an overview of their particular study.
