Enthusiasm is contagious. If one is passionate about the work they do, it can ignite a “fire” in others, merely by association. It’s something that’s often been observed in the educational realm. Anyone can stand at a lectern and read from a text. It’s not hard to do, but it IS boring for the audience. […]
Sitdown with Success is a feature of the Huntsville Business Journal on entrepreneurs and their keys to success. Our July subject is Ashok Singhal, founder of CFD Research. According to the textbooks, computational fluid dynamics uses complex computer algorithms for modeling and simulating the flow of fluids, gases, heat, and electric currents to make technological […]
Knowledge is power. Imagine having access to genomic testing, specifically designed to determine what would be the most effective medication. Then, imagine being able to confidently take that prescription drug without worrying about the possibility of untoward side effects. Pharmacogenomics, the prescribing of medication based on genetics, is quickly becoming the way of the future. […]
Scott Ross, director of information technology for HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnolgy, has been named the Alabama Chief Information Officer of the Year by Alabama CIO – an organization that helps chief information officers (CIOs) maximize their leadership effectiveness, create value, reduce risk and share success. The honor came at Friday’s annual Alabama CIO of the Year […]
The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology is the epicenter of ground-breaking work in biotechnology and genomics. In keeping with that image, it hosted a rather unique ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of its campus. Not only was it masked and socially distant, but it also took place inside the Propst Center with the participants each donning […]
It’s no secret that the world’s petroleum-based resources are finite. At some point, our reliance on fossil fuel as an energy source will need to be replaced by something more viable. In response to this ever-growing dilemma, the scientists at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have been looking into plant genomes – particularly switchgrass, as an […]
Each year, prescribed pharmaceuticals benefit millions of people. This usually results in an improved quality of life, as in the case of arthritis medications or insulin, for example. Prescription drugs can also save lives, many times over. Cardiac, statins, and anti-coagulating medications often mean the difference between life or death. Yet, despite the benefits, a […]
Imagine a world where disease can be quickly identified through genetic analysis. Once considered the stuff of science fiction, genomic sequencing is now emerging to the forefront as a valuable means to identify and quite possibly, predict disease. Genomic sequencing is an invaluable diagnostic tool for patients with rare genetic diseases. However, in the past, […]
It’s time to get your hack on … virtually! The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and Urban Engine are gearing up for the fourth annual HudsonAlpha Tech Challenge. Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, this year’s event will take place virtually April 16-25. HATCH is a unique life sciences hackathon that brings together Alabama-based college and high […]
Two issues negatively impacting COVID testing are false readings and the turnaround time it takes for results. False positive results can cause undue concern, whereas false negative readings have the potential to unwittingly add to the continued spread of COVID. The waiting game is especially difficult; it’s the kind of time that most people don’t […]
