The Center for Integrated BioSystems (CIB) at Utah State University represents a novel approach in bringing a broad spectrum of instrumental and intellectual resources to the needs of academic, industrial and governmental entities, both in the U.S. and internationally.

The Biotechnology and Bioprocessing Training Program annually offers a series of week-long hands-on courses in the traditional areas of animal cell culture, microbial fermentation, protein purification, plus new courses in proteomics, gene expression analysis, and bioinformatics. Outreach efforts have established collaborative training programs in Singapore, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic.

Built on the foundation of traditional core facility offerings, the CIB offers both bioprocessing capability to the industrial microbiological community and cutting edge analytical services in the fields of genomics, proteomics. metabolomics, and bioinformatics.

Using a unique integrated base of laboratory research capability and diverse analytical instrumentation, CIB personnel collaborate with researchers on-campus and around the world to tackle biological questions suited to the Center’s suite of expertise. This outreach both strengthens the research efforts at Utah State University and establishes bridges to institutions in other states and countries.
