As the
Illinois BioGrid website states,
"The Illinois BioGrid is a consortium of
academic institutions, national labs, and
private and public sector organizations. These
various organizations have joined together to
share hardware and software tools that each can
use in their research centering mainly on
Bio-Medical Informatics. This will give each
participant access to computational resources
that is greater than the sum of the parts.
The main purpose of the Illinois BioGrid is to
share compute and software resources amongst the
members. It is a computational grid for Grid and
BioMedicalInformatics software research and for
production BioMedicalInformatics research."
My Involvement with the Illinois BioGrid
Since the spring of 2004 I have
been involved in bioinformatics research with
the
Illinois BioGrid. The majority of the
research that I have done involves mass
spectrometry, specifically the creation of
software tools and infrastructure components for
the storage of mass spectrometry data. The
next project that I will begin shortly involves
work on a database system for the storage of
mass spectrometry data. Also copies of my
publications can be found below in PDF format.
This is, of course, a very brief and high-level
overview of my research involvement - if more
detailed information is needed, my contact
information is available here.
