The Microscale Life Sciences Center is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Center of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS). It resides at the University of Washington (UW) and includes investigators from UW and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) in Seattle. The MLSC is one of the first of three CEGS ever funded by the NIH NHGRI in the nation.
The MLSC or "life-on-a-chip" involves 10 investigators from the UW Departments of Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Microbiology, Laboratory Medicine, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The Center started in August 2001, is funded for 5 years at $15 million, and may be renewed for another 5 years.
