The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) has awarded a $1,249,777 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) in Bar Harbor, Maine. The grant supports MDIBL's Center for Comparative Biology of Tissue Repair, Regeneration and Aging, which conducts fundamental research on mechanisms of tissue regeneration and aging using diverse animal models. The grant will enable MDIBL to establish self-sustaining core research facilities, fund pilot projects in regenerative biology and aging, and provide essential services and technology access to MDIBL investigators, visiting scientists, and investigators in the Northeast region. This builds on MDIBL's prior NIGMS Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) awards which supported the development of its Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging. The current grant aims to further enhance the biomedical research infrastructure and capabilities at MDIBL to advance discoveries in regenerative medicine and aging research.
