The Genomics, Disease Ecology and Global Health Strategic Research Initiative Program and the Eck Institute for Global Health are pleased to announce the awarding of five graduate student fellowships in the areas of genomics and bioinformatics. These are one-year awards that will allow graduate students in the College of Science and the College of Engineering to pursue graduate research program
The remarkable artwork of Patricia Olynyk will be on display in the Jordan Hall of Science from Aug. 28–Sept. 25. Olynyk, director of the graduate school of art at Washington University in Saint Louis, creates large installations that combine her photographs of sense organs, taken with an electron micrograph, with her photographs of Japanese gardens designed to excite the senses. The displays include sounds recorded at the gardens. Olynyk will give a lecture in Jordan Hall on Thursday, Sept. 10.…
The Genomics, Disease Ecology and Global Health Strategic Research Initiative Program and the Eck Institute for Global Health have announced the presentation of six awards to support pilot projects in the areas of genomics and bioinformatics. This announcement comes at a time in which Notre Dame has recently funded the expansion of core facilities in genomics and bioinformatics. The goal of this investment is to provide university-wide access to technical and computational resources for high throughput, computationally intensive genomics and bioinformatics projects, as well as to recruit new scientific users to these powerful technologies. In support of this goal, applications for pilot project funds to support scientist from across campus for whom genomics and/or bioinformatics could be important to their research were solicited and reviewed. Projects were selected based on scientific significance and rationale, approach, preliminary data, need for support and the potential to leverage additional extramural funding.…
Greg Hartland, professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, was appointed senior editor of The Journal of Physical Chemistry beginning Aug. 1. The appointment is for two years. The journal, with separate weekly issues on dynamics and spectroscopy, soft matter and biophysics, and nanomaterials and interfaces, is the premier journal for publishing research in physical chemistry. It accounts for more than 20 percent of all articles published in American Chemical Society journals.…
