About
Formed in 2010, the University of California Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration & Development (UC BRAID) consortium aims to accelerate research and improve health through collaboration, sharing resources, and infrastructure development.
"There must be solid and dedicated leadership and vision that embraces collaboration, breaking down barriers, and working together from different disciplines and venues for the sake of improving health care."
