Manoa
Develops Partnership with
Biomedical Research Facility
UH Manoa has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Windber Research
Institute to develop a strategic business relationship and research alliance
in the growing fields of genomics (the determination of genome sequences and
their interpretation), proteomics (the determination of the structure and function
of proteins) and bioinformatics (information technology applied to biology).
WRI is a world-class, state-of-the-art biomedical research facility created
in September 2000 as a partner with Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington,
DC.
"The memorandum is an important first step in creating a synergy between
Windber’s expertise in proteomics and UH Manoa bioinformatics computing
capability through the Maui High Performance Computing Center and our on-campus
research expertise,” says Manoa Chancellor Peter
Englert.
