  1. University R&D: Fueling the CT Economy Rensselaer at Hartford Dr. Lynn DeNoia, Clinical Professor Department of Engineering and Science

  2. Northeast Bioinformatics Consortium • Northeastern • BU • NJIT • RIT • Rensselaer • UConn • Students, educators (Sloan-funded programs) • Representatives from educational, industrial, & governmental organizations that employ bioinformatics professionals

  3. Annual Conference • Showcase latest in bioinformatics research in the northeast region • Inform on topics relating to bioinformatics in the workplace • Enable participant interaction for “community development” • Provide students with networking toward internships and employment • 2 CT speakers on tap for this year: Boehringer-Ingelheim, Curagen

  4. Research in Progress • Software tools - performance evaluation • 2 students: 1 to Curagen, 1 ready to search • Prototype plasmid sequence database • student currently at Aetna • Metabolic pathway database • student ready to search in 1 year • Prototype database for local hospitals  students trained for work on “real-work” projects similar to company needs

  5. IT: Academic Partnershipwith Industry (IT-API) • Computer Science Seminar & Annual Conference • invited speaker series, to share current research in CS and IT • MS student research presented (April) • seeking more industry participation • CIO Forum with CT Technology Council

  6. Engineering Seminar • In-depth culminating projects • student projects, often done in company context • students work one-on-one with faculty advisor • ME, EE, DSES, CSE

  7. Faculty Research  Consulting • Our focus is APPLIED research • Software defect detection • IT resource management • Object-oriented database applications • Embedded communication protocol design • Modeling stealth defect development in titanium alloys

  8. Thank You!
