NM-INBRE At A Glance

New Mexico INBRE champions biomedical and community-based research excellence in the state of New Mexico through the development of innovative, supportive and sustainable research environments for faculty and students, community engaging health initiatives, while building a network of lead scientists and educators at the state, regional and national level.

RAIN

A collaborative effort of the Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming INBRE programs. That expands resource capabilities to address overlapping science questions specific to each state’s thematic umbrella.

Researchers dig deep into cancer with magnetic nanoparticles

Drugs and other treatments can be quite effective at killing cancer cells, yet many fall short as they struggle to penetrate deep into solid tumors due to physical barriers within the tissue. But in a recent study described in ACS Nano, researchers may have found...

Decreasing the invasiveness of deep brain stimulation

Study in sheep effectively modulated deep brain regions without drilling into the skull Deep brain stimulation—the application of electricity to specific deep brain regions to modulate their function—has been used clinically for over 25 years. This technique is used...

Portable MRI, enhanced by AI, proves viable in brain imaging for dementia

Of all the instruments in the modern medicine toolbox, magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is one of the most powerful. But in many regions, the expense, space, and expertise required to use it puts this tool out of reach. A new study suggests that, with a...
