The Keck Center, established in 1990 with support from the W. M. Keck Foundation, celebrates its 35th year of supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees and their mentors.

Building on its expertise in interdisciplinary, inter-institutional programs, the Keck Center’s focus has evolved to the quantitative biomedical sciences. Participants are drawn from various disciplines such as biophysics, chemistry, bioengineering, neuroscience, computer science, biochemistry, genetics, physics, mathematics, data science, biomedical informatics, environmental health, biology and statistics. Currently, the Keck Center administers training programs in biomedical informatics and data science, pharmacological sciences, computational cancer biology, precision environmental health, antimicrobial resistance, cancer therapeutics, and infectious diseases.

We continue to be deeply appreciative of the Keck Foundation and its trustees for their foresight in funding joint research projects between institutions that has led to cutting-edge, forward-looking science.
