BENEFITS TO RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY
In addition to providing a forum for closer collaboration amongst faculty members, the presence of an organized research unit also facilitates the sharing of research tools and equipment, co-supervision of graduate students and the sharing of research associates. Sharing individuals with particular skills and expertise across members of the group will allow for a broad dissemination of such skills and expertise.
DISSEMINATION AND INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE
The Center for Research on Biomolecular Interactions is dedicated to dissemination of the acquired knowledge within the scientific community. In addition to the steady stream of publications produced by its members in renowned scientific journals, CBRI regularly hosts seminars and guest lecturers to insure a flow of new information in and out of the Centre.
REINFORCEMENT OF THE TEACHING PROGRAM AT YORK UNIVERSITY
Collectively, the members of CRBI supervise 72 trainees. Affiliation with the Centre provides an invaluable experience for all our students, whether undergraduate or graduate. The available opportunities of being exposed to areas of research other than their own focus, direct interaction with their peers and senior researchers, and the ability to learn the variety of techniques available at the member laboratories, give students a much broader experience than they could get if their training was limited to a single laboratory.
