DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal for a Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) originates from the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF). It includes key collaborations with the adjacent University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) in Oklahoma City and with the main campus of the University of Oklahoma (UO), located 20 miles south of Oklahoma City in Norman. The scientific theme is the role of glycosylation in host defense. Virtually all membrane and secreted proteins undergo post-translational modifications, particularly glycosylation. Yet the functions of these extremely diverse modifications remain poorly understood. Oklahoma has developed major strengths in this area. The proposal aims to build on these strengths by interfacing glycobiology with existing and emerging expertise in cardiovascular biology, bioengineering, and immunology. This interdisciplinary approach centers on active participation of productive, senior investigators in mentoring a group of promising junior investigators. New Core facilities will further enhance their research. The success of these junior investigators will enlarge the critical mass of talent in overlapping scientific areas, a synergistic method to expand the biomedical research infrastructure in Oklahoma.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这项建立生物医学卓越研究中心 (COBRE) 的提案源自俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会 (OMRF)。它包括与邻近的俄克拉荷马城俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心 (OUHSC) 以及位于诺曼俄克拉荷马城以南 20 英里的俄克拉荷马大学 (UO) 主校区的重要合作。科学主题是糖基化在宿主防御中的作用。几乎所有膜蛋白和分泌蛋白都会经历翻译后修饰，特别是糖基化。然而，这些极其多样化的修饰的功能仍然知之甚少。俄克拉荷马州在这一领域已形成了强大的优势。该提案旨在通过将糖生物学与心血管生物学、生物工程和免疫学领域现有和新兴的专业知识结合起来，发挥这些优势。这种跨学科方法的重点是富有成效的高级研究人员积极参与指导一群有前途的初级研究人员。新的核心设施将进一步加强他们的研究。这些初级研究人员的成功将扩大重叠科学领域的关键人才数量，这是扩大俄克拉荷马州生物医学研究基础设施的协同方法。
