CSTAR is a vehicle for
cross-disciplinary interaction of researchers and students, resulting in highly effective and rapid implementation of new sensors in a variety of applications. 

Sensor technology holds promise for  new discoveries revolutionizing how people live. There is a sense of urgency in the sensor field concerning bioterrorism, chemical warfare and homeland security.  CSTAR has the resources to make a difference in this area. 

Synergistic interaction with industrial participants provides real world applications in need of advanced sensing technology

The goal of CSTAR is to pursue fundamental research in sensing technology from the conceptual to implementation stages.  A corollary advantage of presence of such a center is that it is an important component of the state's research infrastructure, essential to the continued implementation of biotechnology within Arkansas-based business.
