The Gulf Coast Consortia (GCC) were formed in 2001 by an unprecedented agreement between six member institutions seeking to:
1) unite member institution strengths in training new scientists in the biological sciences and computational and physical sciences;
2) establish a cutting edge research infrastructure designed to collect novel data across these boundaries;
3) apply resulting knowledge in the treatment and prevention of disease; and
4) address significant biological questions.
