Description:

Translating the power of genomics into real world results. Watch video About HudsonAlpha Featured Stories Read about what we've done, what we are doing and what's next. HudsonAlpha part of team awarded five-year, $13 million grant to study potential biofuels Several research groups at HudsonAlpha are passionate about producing crops that can be used as fuel to create clean and sustainable energy for our planet. And now with the help of a newly awarded Department of Energy (DOE) grant, they can move one step closer to this goal. HudsonAlpha scientist awarded NIH grant to continue Alzheimer disease research Nick Cochran, PhD, a senior postdoctoral scientist in the Myers lab at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, has been selected by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to receive a Pathway to Independence (K99) training grant. HudsonAlpha scientists help identify important parts of the human genome During phase 3 of the ENCODE Project, consortium researchers drew closer to their goal of developing a comprehensive map of the functional elements of human and mouse genomes by adding to the ENCODE database millions of candidate DNA switches that regulate when and where genes are turned on.  HudsonAlpha Faculty HudsonAlpha internationally-renowned faculty members are committed to making impactful discoveries in genomics and genetics that improve health and create a more sustainable world.Rick Myers, PhDVisit WebsitePh.D. in Biochemistry, University of California BerkeleyGenomic and genetic analysis of human traits and diseases.Richard M.

She is interested in how perennial plants remobilize nutrients year after year. Since opening its doors in 2008, HudsonAlpha has further secured its role as a global leader in biotechnology and genomic research. We’ve made discoveries in ALS, childhood genetic disorders and kidney cancer; expanded research in bipolar and schizophrenia and continued critical research in other devastating conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s, lupus, multiple sclerosis and more. Our agriscience team specializes in applying genomic techniques to understand how plants function in response to environmental stimuli. The HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center is a global leader in providing de novo whole genome sequencing, assembly and analysis. To leverage the synergy between discovery, education, medicine, and economic development in genomic sciences to improve the human condition around the globe.
