Centers

There are opportunities for Visiting Scholars, postdoctoral fellows and postgraduate students within the more than 20 laboratories housed at Hubbs Hall, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, at the University of California, San Diego campus. The Division also hosts the Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC) and many MBRD researchers are staff of the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB).

Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB)

The Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB) is pleased to offer a new multidisciplinary "Training Program in Marine Biotechnology (TPMB). "This program, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Science (NIH) is designed to create a multidisciplinary educational opportunity providing class work and research activities with faculty from CMBB, the UCSD School of Medicine, UCSD's School of Engineering, and its Basic Science departments.his program focuses on integrated class work, research, and practical experience within the university, at sea, and through partnerships with the local biotech industry. The overall goal is to produce students with a broad education in marine science, medicine, and biotechnology that are ready to become leaders in this rapidly expanding field.

Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC)

The Scripps Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation is a virtual center of interdisciplinary cooperation in research and education. Faculty from UCSD departments of Economics, History, Communications, Anthropology, Political Science, Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, California Institute for Information Technology and Telecommunications (CALIT2), San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries) partner with CMBC to link biological, physical, social, informatic sciences and environmental programs.

Scripps Genome Center

The Scripps Genome Center, part of the Marine Biology Research Division of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is working to integrate the rapidly expanding world of marine genomics into mainstream marine biology research. We provide guidance, resources and access to cutting-edge bioinformatics tools.

Scripps Oceanographic Collections

The Scripps Oceanographic Collections are world-renowned resources supporting basic research, educating current and future generations of scientists, providing factual information to governmental agencies and public policy makers, stimulating curiosity and scientific understanding in the citizens of the state of California, and providing a repository for samples collected by Scripps researchers.
