A new center that combines advanced computing resources at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) with clinical data and biomedical expertise at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) could soon revolutionize the efficiency and effectiveness of health care in the state of Maryland and beyond. The Center for Health-related Informatics and Bioimaging (CHIB) announced today joins computer scientists, life scientists, engineers, physicists, biostatisticians and others at the College Park campus with imaging specialists, physicians, clinicians and additional health experts in Baltimore.
A multidisciplinary center dedicated to research on questions arising from the genome revolution, organized as a center within the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS).
The center has been designed to foster collaboration among neuroscientists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, engineers, and physicists. A special focus of the center is on understanding mechanisms of brain development and neural plasticity in typical and atypical populations and in understanding the neural mechanisms underlying expert abilities that serve critical national priorities.
Works to to establish and sustain a community engaged research enterprise on critical health disparities, to raise the visibility of racial and ethnic health disparities and promising solutions with Marylanders and to facilitate action for change in the structural determinants of health in Maryland.
Collaborations within MPRI share the goal of developing a comprehensive program to diagnose, treat and prevent the spread of pathogens.
The Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science at the University of NACS is a research doctoral program that trains students to become scientists by doing independent research and participating in all aspects of the profession under the guidance of a mentor. Maryland offers research and training opportunities in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience and computational neuroscience with internationally-renowned faculty who interact among three campuses: in Baltimore City, at Baltimore County and at College Park.
The mission of IBBR is to leverage collective research strengths of the partnering institutions in medicine, biosciences, technology, quantitative sciences and engineering, to foster integrated, cross-disciplinary team approaches to scientific discovery and education, and to serve the expanding economic base of biosciences and technology in the state of Maryland and the Nation.
Works to reduce health disparities in Maryland along the national capital border.
By identifying shared challenges and encouraging innovative solutions, the Alliance seeks to facilitate a future in which information in all its forms can be an effective resource for everyone.
A leading digital humanities center that pursues disciplinary innovation and institutional transformation through applied research, public programming, and educational opportunities.
CISSM is well connected to policy debates and practitioners, and offers its researchers and students opportunities to develop broad perspectives on security, economic, and international development issues. It is also committed to developing in the next generation of U.S. and foreign security experts a deep-rooted understanding of the imperatives of cooperative security, as well as the professional tools needed to identify and implement practical solutions to complex security challenges.
CIDCM seeks to prevent and transform conflict, to understand the interplay between conflict and development, and to help societies create sustainable futures for themselves.
The first and only national resource dedicated to addressing the language needs of the Intelligence Community (IC). CASL's overarching mission is to defend and protect our country by improving our language readiness and capabilities.
The CLIP laboratory at Maryland is engaged in designing algorithms and building systems which allow computers to effectively and efficiently perform human language-related tasks and is part of the broader language science initiative at Maryland. The lab is a part of the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS).
The mission of IREAP is to advance modern science through research and educational programs that are interdisciplinary between physical science and engineering.
A unique facility where university and federal government personnel collaborate on research in advanced communication and computer technologies.
Faculty work to develop and apply advanced remote sensing capabilities and GI Science that will help to develop the next generation of GI technologies and understanding of the world's geography.
The Center is an open-access facility to all academic and industrial clients. It is designated to bridge and transfer NMR technology between theoretical research and practical application in chemical structure analyses. We provide the latest Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR, technology for analytical and research projects for chemical structure elucidation. We also offer training and workshop for educational programs. Service includes product analysis (multi-nuclei detection) for quality and purity controls; advanced multi-dimensional NMR detection for complex compounds. Consultation, research and development for new studies are available.
The facility provides high field NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) instrumentation to support the UMCP research community through measurements of biomolecules, macromolecules and systems of biological interest. The facility provides advanced training opportunities for students and acts as a hub for interdisciplinary collaborations. The facility also provides NMR analysis services for internal and external users.
The Bioprocess Scale-Up Facility (BSF) is the Biotechnology Research and Education Program's modern bioprocessing laboratory dedicated to the development and scale-up of biotechnology products and processes. With over 1000 fermentations conducted since 1998 alone, the BSF has accelerated the R&D of local biotechnology leaders such as Human Genome Sciences, NIH and MedImmune, as well as growing Maryland start-ups such as Martek Biosciences and Digene Corporation.
In November, 2013, the University of Maryland School of Medicine launched (dedicated) the Center for Innovative Biomedical Resources (CIBR), the administrative home for the UMSOM biomedical core resources. CIBR serve(s) as a center of excellence for state-of-the-art technologies, high-tech instrumentation, and expertise that supports biomedical research, clinical practice and health care in the state of Maryland and the region. Renovation of nearly 30,000 square feet of space was accomplished with $7.3 M in funding from an NIH grant (1G20RR030969, Reece, PI), made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Newly renovated space allows physical consolidation of many core facilities in common space, creating a dynamic environment that will enhance and stimulate high impact research through a trans-disciplinary approach. New facilities give faculty greater access to sophisticated instrumentation, as well as highly-trained technical staff who can offer support to faculty on experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and provide training opportunities for graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty within the University and its collaborators.
