Discovering solutions
At Bond Life Sciences Center, the best answers come from working together. For more than 20 years, our center has partnered engineers with cancer biologists, biomedical researchers with plant scientists and many others to innovate and tackle humanity’s most pressing challenges. With world-class laboratories and a collaborative spirit, we train the next generation of scientists while researchers continue to find solutions and follow their curiosity to build the bonds for discovery.
We pride ourselves on moving beyond boundaries frequently experienced in siloed departments. Our scientists experiment in an array of areas including vaccine development, neurodegenerative disorders, plant biology, cancer research and agriculture.
Beyond boundaries
Bond LSC brings together labs from 12 departments within five Mizzou schools or colleges. Their diversified research areas complement each other to help see connections between disparate topics.
Our principal investigator labs work much like 34 independent small businesses that often network together. By working in close proximity, they benefit from the expertise, camaraderie and approaches of each other.
Hailing from different academic backgrounds, Bond LSC eliminate siloed departments. Our scientists call our building home but also have academic homes across campus that expand their network through these schools and colleges.
