BISC
Consultation and Collaborations
One of the missions of BISC is to support research in bioinformatics and information science. BISC will support research by providing support to informatic projects.
Current Projects
- Enhancement of the bioinformatics iNquiry cluster and associated programs.
- Parallel processing of circadian phototaxis data using Mathematica.
WKU Collaborations
- Jacobshagen, S., Gaskill, C., Kessler, B., and Rinehart, C., Analysis of circadian expression of phototaxis in Chlamydomonas.
- Rinehart, C. and Wu, D., Construction of a database and tools for the structural analysis of protein.
- Doerner, K., Rinehart, C. and Fitzpatrick, D., Annotation of genomic sequences for a bacterial genome.
- Bell, K. and Philips, K., Molecular phylogeny of the bostrichoid beetles
- Bell, K., Philips, K., and Lee, C.-F., Molecular phylogeny of the water penny beetles
- Bruce Kessler traveled to Mississippi State University on October 4th to meet with team members from MSU and the University of Arizona on a joint computer security initiative, funded by a $1.3 million government appropriation through the Department of Defense, to establish a computer testbed on Western's campus that can be used to test the detection of hacker attacks. His role is in the analysis of the data being collected to determine when the system is under attack.
External Collaborations
- Van der Meer, B.W. (WKU) and D-Tang (UofL), Nano-technology approach to ocular drug delivery
