Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Biological Surface Science

生物表面工业/大学合作研究中心是美国国家科学基金会赞助的一个财团，利用大学和私营部门之间已证明成功的合作模式，将新想法开发成新技术，特别是在生物技术的制造战略方面。 该中心的研究有其战略重点在生物技术，生物材料和生物工程，具有严格的里程碑和独立的评估。 主题领域-生物表面-使得历史上在大学，联邦实验室或工业研究实验室没有联系的特定学科之间建立联系。

The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Biosurfaces is a National Science Foundation sponsored consortium that develops new ideas into new technologies, particularly in manufacturing strategies for biotechnology, using a demonstrated successful model of collaboration between universities and the private sector. The Center's research has its strategic focus in biotechnology, biomaterials, and bioengineering, with rigorous milestones and independent evaluation. The topical area - biosurfaces - makes connections between particular disciplines that historically have not been linked at universities, federal labs, or industrial research laboratories.
