IB Collections
The various Centers affiliated with Integrative Biology are more than just research facilities.
They serve as important elements of our teaching program, places for developing new techniques and approaches for research and instruction as well as for collaboration and innovation.
California Biodiversity Center
Center for Interdisciplinary Bio-inspiration in Education and Research (CIBER)
Center for Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry
