The Center for Deep-Sea Ecology and Biotechnology (CDSEB), which resides within the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences (IMCS), provides an organizational structure for facilitating and integrating deep-sea ecological and biotechnological research at Rutgers, as well as in the scientific community at large. CDSEB has an active, ongoing program of molecular genetic analyses of deep-sea and other marine organisms and houses the world's largest collection of ultra-low frozen organisms from deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold-water sulfide methane seeps.
