$10.8 million grant from NIH helps establish Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center
A $10.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will enable an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Arkansas and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences to address the role of cell and tissue metabolism in rare and common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity and mitochondrial disorders.
The five-year award funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences establishes the Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center as an NIH-designated Center of Biomedical Research Excellence. The award recognizes the university s unique combination of expertise in advanced imaging techniques, bioenergetics and data science.

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences have won a $10.8 million grant that will establish the Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center as an National Institutes of Health-designated Center of Biomedical Research Excellence.
The five-year NIH grant will fund research into the role of cell and tissue metabolism in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity and mitochondrial disorders. Our center will support important scientific contributions not only in specific biomedical fields associated with metabolic diseases but also broader contemporary research on metabolism, exploring issues such as the sensitivity of mitochondrial biomarkers to explain the onset and progression of rare and common diseases, Kyle Quinn, the associate professor of biomedical engineering who will serve as the center s director, said in a news release.
