The VirtuLIMS Project – A collaborative internship program of Poitiers University, The Laboratory Informatics Institute and LabLynx, Inc.

Poitiers University in France had contacted LabLynx, Inc. enquiring about a partnership of some kind where they could have a LIMS to use for teaching purposes. LabLynx, having its webLIMS hosted Software as a Service product readily deployable online, provided its ELab LIMS to Poitiers free of charge, along with help and support in working with it. This gave students the unique opportunity to learn about laboratory informatics first hand. After a successful semester, Claude Goldszmidt at Poitiers requested an internship in Atlanta for one of their students, Aymeric Sarrazin.

Use of Ultrahigh Pressure on the Rise…Decades-Old Technology Being Rediscovered to Bolster Proteomics Research

Article posted in GEN written by, K. John Morrow Jr., Ph.D. on August 1, 2010;

http://bit.ly/cRaCT5

Over the course of his distinguished career, Nobel Prize winner Percy Bridgman, Ph.D., investigated the behavior of materials under elevated hydrostatic pressure. These studies, for which he designed his own high-pressure equipment, included the thermodynamic effect of pressure on proteins and other biological substances.

Researchers recently met to discuss the use of ultrahigh pressure in biotech-related studies at a symposium held at Harvard Medical School and co-hosted by the Harvard Catalyst—Laboratory for Innovative Translational Technologies, Harvard Catalyst Central Laboratory, and by the Proteomics Resource of the Harvard School of Public Health. The hosting of this event was apropos as Dr. Bridgman was a professor at Harvard from 1908 to 1954.
