The CERHB is a biomedical translational research support and education center. The mission of the CERHB is to stimulate promising research and facilitate commercialization of technologies that will provide treatments and cures for human diseases, as well as create new companies and high-wage jobs for Florida. Three initiatives facilitate this mission: expanding clinical biopharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, implementing training programs, and fostering regenerative health research. In extending UF's existing strong research capacity and collaborating with the biotechnology industry, the CERHB is building Florida's position in biotechnology to address the prevention, cure, and rehabilitation of chronic, genetic, and degenerative diseases, as well as traumatic injuries, microbial infections, and cancer using breakthrough technologies.
