Vanderbilt Institute of Chemical Biology
- (VICB) The VICB provides fertile ground for graduate education. Three parallel tracks exist for training students in VICB 1abotatories: the Chemistry Department Graduate Program, the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program, and the Chemical and Physical Biology Graduate Program. The VICB provides fellowships and salary supplements to outstanding applicants. Vanderbilt also has a rich assortment of core facilities that provide access to techniques and equipment at the frontiers of biomedical research. The VICB operates the Molecular Recognition and Screening Facility which generates monoclonal antibodies and single-chain antibodies and also provides access to high throughput screening of chemical libraries for interrogation of biological function. Among Vanderbilt’s other institutional core facilities are the small molecule NMR, the biomolecular NMR, mass spectrometry, and proteomics.

The VIIBRE mission is to: strengthen and broaden our existing foundation of basic research in the biophysical sciences and bioengineering; develop enabling technologies that span these disciplines; provide close articulation of the biophysical and biochemical sciences and bioengineering with our undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate educational programs in biology and medicine; and foster programs of outreach to industry, government, and other educational institutions.
Taking advantage of Vanderbilt’s existing strengths in the biological and physical sciences, medicine, engineering, and education, VIIBRE is creating on-campus collaborations in research areas that include nanomeasurement and control of the single cell, therapeutic bioengineering, biological applications of nanosystems, and cellular/tissue bioengineering and biotechnology. VIIBRE has also contributed to University initiatives in biomedical imaging and bioengineering education technologies. VIIBRE has gathered a highly qualified and diverse set of investigators from twenty-one departments in four schools at Vanderbilt University. Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering - (VINSE) The emerging fields of nanoscale science, engineering and technology (NST) —the ability to work at the molecular level, atom by atom, to create solid structures with fundamentally new properties and functions- are leading to an unprecedented understanding and control over the basic building blocks of all natural and man-made things. The subject represents the ultimate in both interdisciplinary science and engineering and vertical integration. “Interdisciplinary” because almost every field of physical science and engineering has a role to play in the exploration of the field; “vertically integrated” because the intimate integration of science and technology provides a seamless path from discovery to application. The Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE) is providing the infrastructure (people and facilities) and the intellectual impetus for Vanderbilt to play a leading role in this exciting field. The engine for this intellectual impetus is the extraordinary Vanderbilt faculty governed by Vanderbilt’s multi-departmental organization.
