The LANL Institutes

Partnering With Higher Education for the future of the Laboratory

LANL has formed several institutes, each with a partner university or consortia of universities. The formation of these institutes serves the need for LANL to recruit new staff and provide educational opportunities that will enhance retention at the Laboratory. This is accomplished by:

• Developing long-term collaborative relationships with universities whose research interests are important to the Laboratory.
• Sponsoring, partnering with, and funding university professors and students in areas that are important to meet Laboratory objectives.
• Establishing relationships with students working in these research areas and recruiting them to the Laboratory upon graduation where they can continue their work and help the Laboratory to fulfill is objectives.
• Instituting educational programs to provide Laboratory personnel with specific knowledge and skills that make them more effective in completing projects that meet Laboratory objectives.

Bioinformatics Models and Algorithms Course Offered Fall 2008

Biosecurity Science has been identified as an important scientific
focus area for the Laboratory and for the nation. Understanding
emerging and engineered health threats and developing tools to
further increase understanding and response capability will become
increasingly important in protecting humans and other organisms from
pathogens and disease (both naturally occurring ones and those that
could be used as biothreat agents). Bioinformatics is an important
part of Biosecurity Science, contributing to the abilities to
identify species of organism, to develop models of cellular and
systems functioning, and to understand the results of experiments.
This course will provide the background necessary to understand the
field and to begin to work in the field of bioinformatics.
