Redox biology is a broad and multidisciplinary area of science that encompasses physiologic, pathophysiologic and therapeutic arenas.

The mission of the UAB Center for Free Radical Biology (CFRB) is to create an outstanding research and training environment for elucidating mechanisms and biology of free radicals and redox signaling, and translating these to improve human health and disease.

What We Do

We foster collaborative and multidisciplinary research in all areas related to redox biology spanning physiology, pathophysiology and therapeutics
