The goals of the Center for
Multidimensional Carbon Materials
(CMCM) include making entirely new
classes of carbon and related materials,
and characterizing their structures,
physical and chemical properties.
The subjects encompass the chemistry
and physics of biomolecular science; the
intellectual complexity of complex
materials; the puzzles of understanding
structure and dynamical processes of
matter far from equilibrium.
Center for Genomic Integrity studies
the molecular mechanism of DNA repair
pathways that are important to conserve
genetic information in biological
systems.
