The faculty is also involved strong collaborations across the entire campus, and with the University of Maryland Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy, including the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center. The location of UMBC in the Baltimore-Washington corridor puts us close to many important federal laboratories and agencies and high-tech companies, facilitating interactions, and collaboration.
