Welcome to FCoE-BITT

The Florida Center of Excellence for Biomolecular Identification and Targeted Therapeutics (FCoE-BITT) is a comprehensive center that enhances interactions between scientists and engineers to identify molecules of human health significance and develop novel methods for use in diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human disease.  FCoE-BITT encompasses the full range from discovery to commercialization and is expected to create an infrastructure that supports collaboration across several academic units: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering and USF Health which includes the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health.  In addition to the internal collaboration that FCoE-BITT supports, it is expected to move research into commercial applications through its close collaboration with various technology transfer resources (e.g. the Office of Research, USF CONNECT (a small business development resource), the USF Center for Entrepreneurship, the USF Tampa Bay Technology Incubator and the Interdisciplinary Research and Business Partnership).
