Research Centers

Center for Lithospheric Studies
The Center for Lithospheric Studies is a research institution devoted to the study of the lithosphere through geophysical and geochemical means. The Center operates in close cooperation with the Department of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Dallas.

Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute
The Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute seeks to eliminate the boundaries that interfere with the transition from science to technology, and from technology to product, on the nanoscale. A major focus of the institute is NanoEnergetics which will help generate game-changing technologies for energy harvesting, storage, transmission, and conversion, leading to new products, companies, and job opportunities.

Sickle Cell Disease Research Center
The only center of its kind in the southwestern United States and the first NIH funded sickle cell center in Texas, the Sickle Cell Disease Research Center aims to find better therapeutics for sickle cell disease and ultimately a cure by focusing on the molecular, cellular, and whole organism level.

William B. Hanson Center for Space Studies
The Center for Space Sciences advances the understanding of the evolution of solar system bodies by being involved in the design, construction, and flight of space plasma sensors for spacecraft and rockets, the development of software and analysis tools for data interpretation, and the advancement of numerical models of the solar terrestrial environment.
