Biomedical Sciences 18 | The University of Texas at El Paso
Addressing Critical health issues on the border and beyond Infectious diseases and other health conditions that impact our unique community on the U.S.-Mexico border are a major focus of biomedical research at UTEP. The Border Biomedical Research Center is the hub of a wide range of research activity, organized into three research units: infectious diseases, toxicology, and neuroscience and metabolic disorders. Research conducted by BBRC faculty and staff includes the investigation of vaccines for HIV, and treatments for parasitic diseases and conditions caused by exposure to toxins such as lead. The growth in biomedical research at UTEP, accompanied by millions in funding from the National Institutes of Health and other agencies, led to the recent construction of the $45.1 million Bioscience Research Building. Located near the heart of the campus, the five-story structure features new state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment. The Bioscience Research Building and Biology Building are also home to the BBRC’s core research facilities, which include laboratories for analytical cytology, cell culture and statistics, and facilities for biomolecule characterization and DNA analysis.
