Central Indiana's life sciences research corridor forms a
triangle stretching from Bloomington to Indianapolis to West Lafayette.
Within that triangle are significant existing assets that have the
potential to transform Indiana into a national hub for the life
sciences industry, according to a February study from the Battelle
Memorial Institute.
With the formation of the Central Indiana Life Sciences Initiative,
announced by Hoosier business and education leaders last month,
IU Home Pages will be focusing periodically on related research
and programs on the IU campuses.
In the stories below, read about the new Center for Genomics and
Bioinformatics at IU Bloomington and the importance of model organisms
for research. Learn about the new field of proteomics, the study
of proteins, and how various human diseases manifest in the altered
concentrations or structures of proteins. Finding protein markers
of a disease may result in better means of diagnosis and/or treatment.
On the Indianapolis campus, researchers at the IU School of Medicine
(IUSM) are developing medical informatics tools to help identify
the biological make-up that predisposes some to cancer. Also, read
about a first-of-its-kind graduate program in biotechnology, to
be offered in the fall semester at IUSM.
