CIFR will exploit the tools of genomic sciences to integrate a broad spectrum of approaches and expertise for investigating and analyzing fungi of agronomic and industrial significance and their interaction with plants. Many of these fungi also have major impacts on medicine and on the environment. In addition to the advancement of basic knowledge of biological processes, the data generated will provide practical applications for improvements in quality of life and the environment. The Center will enhance NCSU's mission to strengthen and expand Genomic Sciences and will take advantage of the University's research leadership in agriculture, forestry and veterinary medicine, as well as newly emerged strengths in Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics. The Center has its roots in the Department of Plant Pathology, a department recognized nationally and internationally for research on the nature of plant diseases, food safety and on improvement of plant health.
CIFR will complement and expand the reach of NCSU's mission as a research university. The research conducted by CIFR will provide direct benefits to human betterment by providing information that can be applied in a variety of ways. CIFR research will produce technological changes that will benefit the social and economic well-being of the people of North Carolina, the nation, and the world.
CIFR reflects NCSU's mission to teach, provide research and public service for undergraduates, graduate students, the general public and industry. CIFR will disseminate research information that is current, relevant and vitally important locally, nationally and internationally. CIFR will provide opportunities for cross-disciplinary intellectual and critical foundations for understanding, anticipating, and responding to public needs.
Through collaboration with the Center for Bioinformatics at NCSU, the North Carolina Biotechnology Center and other centers on campus and in the Research Triangle Park area, CIFR will be positioned to offer unique undergraduate, graduate and post doctoral educational opportunities that are on the leading edge of genomics research.
