CCMBM Events and Opportunities
The Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology & Medicine (CCMBM) defines itself
by emphasizing musculoskeletal-specific education and services that are critical to its members but not available elsewhere in the university system.
|
|
UPCOMING EVENTS & OPPORTUNITIES |
|
Application Deadline: April 1, 2023
The Grant Development Award provides funding for a junior CCMBM member to host a meeting (e.g., lunch or dinner) with 2–3 UCSF faculty members who are outside of the trainee’s current lab to:
1) brainstorm/solicit informal feedback on a study idea or research direction
2) learn about the latest methods and techniques used in related fields
3) identify potential collaborators
4) promote inter-disciplinary MSK research
5) expand the trainee’s professional network
|
|
Recognizing the need for collaboration of MSK scientists with experts outside of the MSK field, we are providing support to MSK Center members to host a meal for a creative and enjoyable in-person networking meeting to stimulate these interactions and to further develop new research ideas and plans to fund them. Faculty, staff, and trainees who are MSKC/CCMBM members are encouraged to apply to host an event.

The UCSF Living Therapeutics Initiative (LTI) is issuing a new Request for Proposals (RFP) to drive cutting edge research and facilitate translating scientific innovation into the clinic. The LTI will consider cellular therapy proposals along the entire development continuum. However, for this call there is a particular interest in projects at pre-IND enabling studies and later. To support the GMP manufacturing of cellular therapies, UCSF has partnered with Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) on a new cGMP facility located on the Mission Bay campus dedicated to producing cellular products for testing in patients.
Access to the applications with the full set of instructions can be found here.
Applications should be mailed as a single PDF to LTI@ucsf.edu by close of day March 17, 2023.
