Featured NU Facilities & Centers

To meet its mission objectives, NSRI relies upon research facilities and technology available across the University of Nebraska System's four campuses and led by experienced researchers, with students engaging in many aspects of hands-on work. Following are just some of the many assets NSRI leverages. Click the image or arrows for more information.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Commissioned in 2005 by the United States Centers for Disease Control, the NBU provides the first line of treatment for people affected by bioterrorism or highly hazardous communicable diseases. The NBU is one of only a few biocontainment units in the United States and is the largest, with up to a 10-bed capacity depending upon the specific infection.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Bioinformatics researchers are working to increase the efficacy of treatments in ways that are tailored to the individual. This lab focuses on the surveillance of airborne pathogens — organisms that are transmitted through the air causing disease to their host.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Offers biopharmaceutical process development designed for successful technology transfer from the bench to large-scale GMP manufacturing. It develops scalable processes and manufactures material suitable for non-clinical and clinical studies.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Conducts research on biodefense and biosecurity related problems in animal and human health, bio-surveillance and detection of bioterrorism agents, epidemiological studies and antibiotic resistance.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Provides expertise in the quantitative sciences, including biostatistics, epidemiology and health services research. Coordinates the collaborative design, planning, conduct, analysis and interpretation of laboratory, clinical and public health research studies.

University of Nebraska at Omaha

Develops, validates and publishes scientific foundations for collaboration-related phenomena and helps organizations to apply findings to make performance differences.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Highly advanced clinical simulation facility and home of the National Training, Simulation and Quarantine Center, which features the nation’s only federal quarantine unit, as well as a six-bed simulated biocontainment unit for advanced experiential training.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

State-of-the-art facilities with a combined 541,000 square feet of seminar rooms, auditoriums and laboratories, including the Nebraska State Public Health Lab and UNMC Biodefense Research Laboratories.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Host of the Dicoles Laser, which harnesses more power than 100,000 Hoover Dams and speeds of 30 billionths of one millionth of a second. Diocles and physicist Dr. Donald Umstadter, principal scientist and director of the laboratory, are at the forefront of international high-field physics and laser research.

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Culmination of 20 years of persistence, planning and training at UNMC to build emergency preparedness capacity. Leads numerous biopreparedness research efforts, ranging from basic science to safe air evacuations, including evaluation of the United States Air Mobility Command’s Transport Isolation System. 

University of Nebraska Medical Center

Transformative model for health care education and training and offers unprecedented opportunities for research and development. Incorporating a wide range of simulation and visualization technologies, iEXCEL promotes experiential learning to achieve the vision of global leadership in improving human performance and effectiveness in health care.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Employs state-of-the-art testing procedures to provide disease surveillance and diagnostic services. It is recognized nationally for its expertise in diagnosing diseases in cattle and other food animals, and offers a full complement of bacteriologic, histologic, immunohistochemical necropsy, molecular diagnostic, serologic, toxicologic, electron microscopic and traditional virologic services.

Consortium involving 60+ academics from 26 universities, all engaged in critical research to innovate, educate and create new prevention strategies while building a workforce pipeline where it’s desperately needed: in STEM and Homeland Security fields.

University of Nebraska at Omaha

While researching a variety of pathogens, the lab keeps constant focus in one key area: tropical infectious diseases and their close cousins. Most notably, researchers are trained on finding an effective treatment for two parasites—Toxoplasma gondii and Schistosoma mansoni.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Nationally recognized center of excellence in materials research science and engineering, nanoscience and nanotechnology. Supports primary researchers who investigate atomic manipulation, properties affected by nanoscale dimensions, self-assembly, ordered nanoarrays, quantum dots and wires, nanoelectronics, quantum computing, nanomechanics, nano-optics, nanoelectromechanical systems and molecular design. 

University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Addresses pathogenic and therapeutic questions of some the most devastating viral and neuro-immune disorders facing the global community. Molecular, epidemiological and biochemical approaches are employed to address fundamental questions concerning viral replication, latency, assembly and pathogenesis.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Focuses on research and technology used to develop more capable and dependable unmanned aerial vehicles. Recent projects include safe, precise and 
repeatable maneuvers; failure detection and recovery; extended flying autonomy; adaptive sensing; and teaming and coordination.
