https://www.selleckchem.com/ The Behavior and Neuroimaging Core provides project-specific collaboration and support to COBRE scientists to promote the acquisition of high quality behavioral, physiological, neuroimaging and neurostimulation data, to ensure the integrity of the data collection infrastructure and to help implement robust data processing and visualization pipelines. While the cores principally serve Center scientists, our Center and the core resources have availability to all Rhode Island researchers.The COBRE for Perinatal Biology (CPB) was the third grant in Rhode Island to be funded by the COBRE mechanism. The CPB was based at Women & Infants Hospital, and housed in the Kilguss Research Institute, in the Jewelry District in Providence. The scientific focus of the CPB was on perinatal diseases such as preeclampsia and preterm birth, as well as more broadly on cardiopulmonary development and reproductive biology. Over the course of three phases and 17 years, the CPB funded 22 projects. CPB investigators, in turn, generated over $27.5 million in independent funding from federal and non-federal sources. Besides providing scientific and career mentorship to new investigators in Rhode Island, the CPB established a Research Core. The Kilguss Research Core remains active and flourishing and provides advanced imaging, molecular biology and flow cytometry abilities to researchers at Women & Infants as well as the greater Rhode Island scientific community.The Center for Addiction and Disease Risk Exacerbation (CADRE) is a COBRE establishing a thematically linked, state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary Center investigating mechanisms where-by substance use (SU) increases the risk for or exacerbates chronic disease. It does so by employing a combination of behavioral and physiological laboratory-based approaches across several substances and across several diseases. COBRE projects investigate mechanisms underlying effects of opioids, cannabis, tobacco, and alcohol o
