Collaborations and Support

UT/ORNL Graduate School of Genome Science and Technology
The graduate school takes advantage of the unique opportunity that the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have for interaction and collaboration. Students will be trained in emerging areas of genome science, with emphasis on mammalian genomics, structural biology, proteomics, computational biology and bioinformatics, and bioanalytical technologies.

Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium
The Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium (TMGC) brings together expertise and resources across the state of Tennessee for the study of complex biological systems using mouse model systems. The consortium includes a National Laboratory, several universities, and several medical research centers. Researchers from these institutions contribute their expertise in mouse genetics, basic biomedical research, clinical research, laboratory animal care, research administration, bioinformatics, and bioanalytical technologies. This mix brings a wide range of resources to bear on biomedical research and training.
