Center for Biotechnology & Genomic Medicine

Established in the summer of 2002, the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine (CBGM) at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Augusta University (AU) was developed to promote interdisciplinary and translational research in Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine with the ultimate goal of promoting predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory (4P) medicine.

The Center's research efforts focus on two main areas:

  1. Discovery and validation of biomarkers for disease prediction and diagnosis,
  2. Pharmacomics and drug discovery for personalized medicine.

CBGM is home to four internationally renowned programs in diabetes research: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY), the Prospective Assessment in Newborns of Diabetes Autoimmunity (PANDA), the Diabetic Complications Consortium (DiaComp), and the Mouse Metabolic Phenotype Consortium (MMPC). Additional research programs include autoimmune diseases, transplantation, and cancer. These research programs are supported by an annual extramural funding of approximately $12 million.

The center houses several state-of-the-art high-throughput and high-content facilities for genetics, genomics, proteomics, drug screening, and bioinformatics. The center continues to recruit independent investigators with expertise in diverse disciplines such as genomics, proteomics, immunology, medicinal chemistry, drug development, biostatistics, and computational biology. This multidisciplinary approach provides an avenue for investigators to interact and stimulate novel ideas.

Most risk calculators for diabetic microvascular complications are limited to research labs because of how complicated the statistical analysis is. This calculator was developed to fill the gap and allow individuals to estimate their own specific risk.

Sharing Science: CBGM Journal Clubs & Seminars

journal club image

 

The Center hosts regular Journal Club meetings and research seminars that bring together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty to share and discuss the latest developments in biomedical research. Journal Clubs provide an opportunity for trainees to critically evaluate new scientific publications and strengthen their presentation skills in a supportive, collaborative setting. Faculty-led seminars feature invited speakers from within and outside Augusta University who share their ongoing research and foster interdisciplinary dialogue. These gatherings encourage open discussion, idea exchange, and continued learning—key elements of the Center’s mission to promote scientific excellence and collaboration.
