Fisher Scientific International/CCG Pilot Projects - 2006

The Fisher Scientific International/CCG collaboration to fund pilot projects for development of new tools for genomic and proteomic research is in its second year. The collaboration promotes opportunities for Fisher to combine its expertise with research at the CCG. Fisher will provide financial support for select research projects at the university and will have the opportunity to license new technologies resulting from that research. The program is designed to foster the discovery of novel technologies in the areas of high-throughput screening and detection, protein expression, chemical diversity and bioinformatics. Fisher is targeting the development of new procedures for protein testing and sample preparation, innovative ways of using RNA-interference products, broader applications of high-content screening and other advancements.
