Vaccaro, Tamotsu Yoshimori, Li Yu, Hong Zhang & Daniel J.Klionsky (2018) Autophagy, Inflammation, and Metabolism (AIM) Center of Biomedical ResearchExcellence: supporting the next generation of autophagy researchers and fostering internationalcollaborations, Autophagy, 14:6, 925-929, DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2018.1465784ABSTRACTRecently, NIH has funded a center for autophagy research named the Autophagy, Inflammation, andMetabolism (AIM) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, located at the University of New MexicoHealth Science Center (UNM HSC), with aspirations to promote autophagy research locally, nationally, andinternationally. The center has 3 major missions: (i) to support junior faculty in their endeavors to developinvestigations in this area and obtain independent funding; (ii) to develop and provide technologicalplatforms to advance autophagy research with emphasis on cellular approaches for high quality reprodu-cible research; and (iii) to foster international collaborations through the formation of an InternationalCouncil of Affiliate Members and through hosting national and international workshops and symposia.Scientifically, the AIM center is focused on autophagy and its intersections with other processes, withemphasis on both fundamental discoveries and applied translational research.
