Furthermore, investigators affiliated with the facility are committed to developing and applying cutting-edge technologies that will benefit human and social endeavors.



Center for Bionanotechnology and Environmental Research

Type: Center

Summary:

NASA C-BER integrates molecular biology, bioinformatics, bionanotechnology with chemical and biochemical analysis. Techniques for detecting, monitoring and controlling microorganisms are being developed; and the effects of microgravity, radiation and other space travel-induced stress factors on living organisms are investigated with the intent of developing countermeasures. The research of C-BER is closely aligned with NASA‘s Exploration Systems Mission Directorate and is relevant to all NASA‘s mission directorates. Our successes will improve existing technologies and generate new inventions that increase speed and accuracy while decreasing cost. New technology developed or advanced will educate and drive the perception of what is possible in the realm of Space Life Sciences. Historically, synergism between science and technology has thrived at TSU as applied to microgravity induced stress and microbial detection/control. In this current effort we will develop advanced technologies to enable novel solutions to the great health challenges facing humans during long-term space duration missions. Overall we shall develop a future workforce in STEM fields; improve TSU‘s research infrastructure and innovative partnerships; enhance astronaut and autonomous medical care; enhance technology transfers and commercialization; and improve quality of life on earth.



Center for Cardiovascular Diseases

Summary:

GOALS: To expand and strengthen the University‘s biomedical research capabilities in order that significant contributions may be made to the improvement of the cardiovascular health status of all Americans, especially African Americans. The Center serves as the hub of research activities on cardiovascular diseases and houses faculty, graduate students and research personnel. The Center also provides intensive laboratory training experiences for both graduate students and undergraduates and serves as a site for structured and supportive faculty development.

TASKS: Nitric oxide/cytochrome P450 interactions in the control of renal function and blood pressure, peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (alpha and gamma) in the pathogenesis of hypertension and renal failure, cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid and cerebral flow in subarachnoid hemorrhage (stroke) and diabetes mellitus.



Center for Health Disparities Research: Cardiovascular Diseases & HIV

Type: Center

Summary:

Mission: The mission of the Center for Health Disparities Research is to enhance the biomedical research capability of Texas Southern University by promoting infrastructure and resources for biomedical/behavioral research training capacity in health disparities research via training of faculty to examine biological, clinical, and sociological factors related to cardiovascular disease and HIV in minority populations in the hope of discovering solutions to health and other problems that disproportionately affect urban minorities.

Among the proposed research within the Center for Health Disparities Research is cardiovascular disease risk reduction among HIV patients especially, target prevention and reduction in health disparities among African Americans. The other activities will include but not limited to the following: seminars, journal clubs, laboratory and behavioral science training of undergraduate and graduate students, and advanced training for postdoctoral fellows, as well as community outreach. Additional funding will be sought to promote research enterprise in the CHDR while addressing community health issues with respect to disease prevention and working with additional investigators to provide an enriching 'milieu‘ for developing independent investigators. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) will be used to develop a health promotion/health education program that will engage the community in development of strategies to overcome health disparities.

Division of Academic Affairs and Research

Type: Division



Environmental Research and Technology Transfer Center

Type: Core Laboratory

Summary:

The goal of the center is to address training, research problems, and technology transfer issues as they relate to the environment; by increasing the number of under-represented minority graduates in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. ERT2C projects focus on analysis of toxic elements and compounds in a closed environment, trace metals in soil, soil sediments, air and wastewater processes, wastewater contaminants, and environmental policy and law. The Core Analytical Facility is an important component of the center. The Core‘s mission is to achieve regional, community, and national recognition as a quality environmental analytical laboratory and environmental research program. This Mission will be achieved through the characterization of environmental toxicants in the ambient environment (air, soil, and/or water) and the investigation of the mechanisms involved in the toxicity effect.
