The CIB is an active and vibrant focal point for life science activities at Utah State University. A multifaceted core facility at USU, the CIB is dedicated to agricultural and environmental biotechnology research. The Center's scientists and staff work together to further our core components: Research, a Core Service Lab Facility, Biotechnology Training and Student Education.
To keep pace with the rapid changes of biotechnology, we are always taking on new projects. We are constantly updating our scientific tools, and most recently we've developed our strength in metabolomics and bioinformatics. Our goal is to maximize CIB's biotechnology contributions and accomplishments in the Western Region, while providing tools that allow others to do the same.
