Cell Biology Education Consortium (CBEC), Ouachita Baptist University and Jacksonville State University part of CUREnet:Profiles
The Cell Biology Education Consortium (CBEC) is an NSF-RCN funded network of faculty and students designing and utilizing tissue culture resources in the context of cell biology CUREs. These resources are called Cell Blocks and can be used in a mix-and-match fashion to answer unique, authentic research questions. The modular design of CBEC makes it extremely flexible to implement. Faculty can address very different research questions using the pedagogical and technical tools, ranging from studying cancer lines to neuron functioning. (Read more...)

Make it flexible for departments and institutions part of CUREnet
This webpage, part of the CUREnet resource on course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), addresses strategies for designing flexible CUREs that accommodate institutional, faculty, and classroom variability while maintaining fidelity to core CURE principles, emphasizing modular design, diverse implementation pathways, and alignment with accreditation and professional advancement needs.
