About the Department	About the Translational Predictive Biology (CTPB) Cluster The TPB cluster (previously called the Translational Regenerative Medicine ( TRM) Cluster), has been active since 2013 and has expanded considerably since then. With the recent addition of four new faculty, members of the TPB cluster form the core of the Functional Tissue Engineering research unit of the Comparative Medicine Institute (https://research.ncsu.edu/cmi/) and focus on basic and translational aspects of regenerative medicine from stem cell biology, organ-on-chip, and biomanufacturing, to in vivo applications. With the addition of these five new faculty the expanded TPB cluster will significantly increase its efforts in translational predictive biology focused on improving the health of animals and humans. About The Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program (CFEP) NC State launched the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program in 2011 as part of the 2011-2020 strategic plan to bring the nation's best and brightest faculty to campus. The program enhances the university's commitment to supporting and expanding interdisciplinarity through outstanding research and scholarship, and strengthens NC State's historic expertise in the sciences, engineering, math, design, textiles, humanities and social sciences, and education. The program's efforts align with NC State's land-grant mission and vision, and build momentum toward strategic goals outlined in the new strategic plan, Wolfpack 2030: Powering the Extraordinary. The current 20 clusters have been selected on these important criteria: Ability to achieve national eminence in proposed topic Alignment with university strategic priorities Demonstration of real interdisciplinarity Potential to build on an existing university strength (or strength of the existing assets) Opportunity for faculty to engage in both research and teaching of proposed topic Ability to attract funding Commitment to share resources and physical infrastructure Commitment to interdisciplinarity and collaboration among multiple colleges Demonstration of a balanced hiring plan with clear leadership The Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program is supported and managed by the Office of University Interdisciplinary Programs. The program has grown from an initial 12 clusters to 20 clusters today.
