University of Notre Dame
University of Notre Dame researchers are working at the leading edge of life sciences research. Areas of emphasis include infectious and vector-borne diseases, cell and cancer biology, physiology, ecology and evolution.
State-of-the art facilities include the Notre Dame Cancer Institute, the Eck Institute for Global Health, the W.M. Keck Center for Transgene Research, the
Midwest Institute for Nantechnology Development (MIND), the Center for Biophysics and Biocomplexity, and the Center for Rare Disease Research.
Led by Notre Dame, MIND is a research consortium designed to discover and develop the next nanoscale logic device, which will be the basic building block of future computer technology.
In collaboration with the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) of the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and the support of the state of Indiana and city of South Bend, the Mind consortium also includes Purdue University, the University of Illinois, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Michigan, Argonne National Laboratory, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
MIND research is organized around two themes: energy-efficient devices and energy-efficient systems.
