How to become a MRDDRC Investigator?


The MRDDRC at BCM supports the research of BCM investigators through the MRDDRC Cores which concentrate expertise being accessible to investigators who would otherwise have to find ways to import these technologies and develop these skills in their own labs (See “About us” and “Cores”). The MRDDRC is thus an impressive venue for facilitating research in a cost-efficient way.

If you want to JOIN the group of MRDDRC investigators and get privileged access to the MRDDRC cores, you need to write* the MRDDRC Director, Dr. Zoghbi with the following:

  • Title of project
  • Source of support
  • Period of support
  • Brief description of project
  • Relevance of the project to the MRDDRC mission
  • Core Units to be accessed

* Please send your application to Rachel Uresti, MRDDRC Coordinator.

  • If your project(s) is ending and you want to remain a MRDDRC investigator, please proceed as described above to get the MRDDRC Director approval for new project(s)
Note: Each year, at the time of the MRDDRC progress report, you will be asked for the following:
