INBRE partner, University of Hawaii at West Oahu, showcased its new $32-million Administration and Health Science building on December 12, 2018. Completed approximately two years after the groundbreaking in November 2016, the nearly 44,000-square-foot building is the first structure added to the campus since the move to its current Kapolei location in 2012. Classes in the new structure begin with the spring 2019 semester. Besides providing a home to administrative functions, the building also houses classrooms for health sciences and laboratories for the teaching of anatomy, cellular biology and microbiology. The building features 10 classrooms (one of which is a computer lab), three labs and two support labs along with offices for the faculty and instructional staff. Read more here.
The 5th Annual Leeward Community College Undergraduate Student Research Symposium was held on August 14, 2018. Directed by Dr. Kabi Neupane and Dr. Helmut Kae, fourteen Leeward CC students and one UH West Oahu student worked on a variety of research projects throughout the Summer of 2018 and presented their work with a potluck style lunch celebration. A special thanks to INBRE and The Innovation Funds was made for their financial support.
The five-year grant, based at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, will enrich the college science experience statewide for students at universities and community colleges. Read more here:INBRE IV on UH Med Now
The INBRE Program Meeting and Biomedical Sciences & Health Disparities Symposium on April 19, 2018, was a great success with students expanding upon their professional activities.
