Faculty

CSUPERB aims to serve CSU faculty by providing support for virtual communities and taskforces, networking events, professional development opportunities, cutting edge workshops, connections to shared research equipment, and curriculum development resources.

CSU Faculty Profiles System (FRESCA)
Whether you are a CSU biotechnology researcher, CSUPERB PI or Faculty Consensus Group (FCG) member, please join FRESCA! Build expertise profiles, use keyword searches to discover CSU colleagues’ work, and automatically generate BioSketches. CSUPERB uses FRESCA to identify proposal reviewers for grants and awards programs. Once you've signed up at FRESCA, please join the CSUPERB group to and subscribe to the RSS feed from the CSUPERB news blog. We post program news, deadlines and items of interest to faculty, particularly grant opportunities and federal agency news and analysis.

CSUPERB LinkedIn Group (moderated)
As LinkedIn captured news this summer (2011), CSU biotechnology faculty, students, alumni and friends from all over the world increasingly joined the CSUPERB group and chimed in on discussions. The group is currently interested in campus-based biotechnology events, research and higher education policy issues, and biotechnology industry news. Any member is free to post news, start discussions and comment on discussions.

CSUPERB Facebook Page
The CSUPERB Facebook page was started to communicate with CSU biotechnology students. But, over the last six months, we've noticed a good number of faculty, deans and CSU programs following us there too! We post CSU biotechnology news items, life science industry career news and analysis, and other fun things on Facebook.

CSUPERB Biocompass - Online Teaching Materials
As part of the Biocompass project, we've partnered with the NSF-funded MERLOT project to array free, high-quality biotechnology-related online teaching resources. We are particularly interested in collecting biotechnology industry case studies on MERLOT.
