Research Resources

The Grossman Center operates as cohesive teams of scientists organized by function.  Many of our technicians are skilled in several areas that allow our teams the fluidity to expand and contract according to the scope of the projects led by the senior scientists and doctoral candidates.

Our basic and translational divisions work side by side, coming together formally every two weeks for lab meetings.  All three divisions, basic, translational, and clinical, and many of our collaborators and guests formally meet once every two weeks for Journal Club or Research Club.  Our basic and translational divisions meet formally with collaborating investigators from the Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development, the Department of Neuroscience, and the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics every three weeks, and are linked together by a secure Wiki site through which our latest research data and manuscripts are posted, and exciting literature from other labs is distributed.

Our basic and translational divisions are presently housed in Diehl Hall on the Medical School campus, East Bank, at the University of Minnesota.  In 2009, the Grossman Center will move into custom-designed, state-of-the art space, with our vivarium of 1200 mice adjacent to our laboratories and offices in the Medical Biosciences Building.
