Gulf Coast ConsortiaGCC logo 

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.
