The Institutes and Centers catalyze research and graduate training across life science disciplines and are dedicated to solving society's greatest challenges by building alliances across disciplinary boundaries, enhancing Penn State's ability to prepare students for the challenges of the future, and developing innovative approaches to move discovery to impact through active research commercialization. The Huck has a portfolio of 111 co-funded faculty and oversees six intercollege graduate degree programs comprised of approximately 275 graduate students, and a professional master's program in Biotechnology. The Huck supports research through eleven (11) state-of-the-art shared technology facilities including genomics, automated calorimetry, high field magnetic resonance imaging, metabolomics, proteomics and mass spectrometry, microscopy, flow cytometry, cell culture, fermentation, x-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy.
