Abstract: The Gulf Coast Consortia (GCC) is one of the largest inter-institutional cooperatives in the world, with a focus on building strong collaborative research groups and interdisciplinary training opportunities for students. At the heart of the GCC is its training program: the Keck Center for Interdisciplinary Bioscience Training. Founded in 1990, the Keck Center provides support for undergraduate, predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees as they pursue research and training in bioscience. Dr. Pettitt will give an update on the research consortia and training programs comprising the GCC / Keck Center. (http://www.chem.uh.edu/Faculty/Pettitt/ )
