Center for Reproductive Biology

Center for Reproductive Biology The research areas of our faculty are diverse and include many areas of human, plant and animal reproduction.

An Inter-Institutional program involving 30 departments at Washington State University (Pullman, Tri-Cities, Spokane, Vancouver and Puyallup campus'), University of Idaho, Montana State University, University of Washington, Central Washington University and Spokane Community College. Altogether, the Center now includes approximately 88 faculty and over 200 trainees and staff, making it one of the largest reproductive biology centers in the world. The Center's main objective is straightforward: to provide opportunities for investigators from across the Pacific Northwest to collaborate and learn from one another.
