CBCB involved in new Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (TCORS)

The University of Maryland has been awarded by the Federal Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health an approximately $19 million dollar award to create a new University of Maryland Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (UM TCORS). This Center will be one of 14 centers nationwide that will provide the FDA with scientific support for its regulation of tobacco products. CBCB faculty Mihai Pop together with UMIACS director Amitabh Varshney will help manage and analyze the vast amounts of data generated in this project by their colleagues in the UM School of Public Health, UM School of Medicine, George Mason University, and Battelle.
