Besides telling you we have resources for exciting, cutting-edge research, what does this mean? It speaks to the quality, energy and ingenuity of the faculty members at UNL who propose and receive grants from the National Institutes for Health, the National Science Foundation, the United States Army and other granting institutions. At UNL you'll find faculty who bring passion into both the research laboratory and the classroom with exciting studies like:

• Developing new regenerative medical materials and therapies using bio- and nanotechnologies to speed the repair and regrowth of bone, blood vessels and soft tissues in vivo
• Developing cutting edge genomic techniques like ultra-fast polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to search for emerging disease threats such as antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis
• Using proteomic instruments like a specialized mass spectrometer designed to search for new genetically engineered protein medicines
• Developing a new pliable bandage that can stop fatal bleeding from trauma in civilian and military applications
• Partnering with international healthcare systems to develop abundant supplies of hemophilia medicines from the milk of genetically engineered livestock to treat 80% of the world's hemophilia patients
• Discovering a device to give robots a human sense of touch using nanotechnology
• Developing a process for sustainable biofuels production
