"With 75 trillion bytes of capacity, about equal to 100,000 CDs, the "storage area network" will allow scientists at UB - and at partner research centers in Buffalo's medical campus - to tackle more data-heavy projects."

"The data warehouse at UB is capable of housing four times the information in the Library of Congress, according to HP. As a corporate backer of the bioinformatics center, the company has supplied elements of UBs supercomputer and has pledged $10 million in investment capital for area biotech start-ups."

""Unfortunately, I think there's unreal expectations," said Skolnick, the Buffalo center director. Still, he said, the center "can play a role, and perhaps a significant role" in an economic turnaround.

Even so, not everybody is on board. At Ulrich's Tavern, which calls itself Buffalo's oldest and is sandwiched between the center and an old windshield-wiper factory, an elderly man nursed a midafternoon beer and said he'd never even heard of bioinformatics.

The bar's proprietor, Jim Daley Jr., was plenty aware of it.

"I think it's the most underrated thing in Buffalo," he said. "Most people talk about the casino.""

"If any doubts lingered among scientists, politicians or business executives about the future prospects for the University at Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics, they were erased last Friday as nearly 200 scientists representing the U.S., Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy and Japan gathered in the Adams Mark Hotel in Buffalo for the first annual "Frontiers in Bioinformatics" symposium."

"The day's events amounted to a grand show of support for the center of excellence, which was founded in 2001 by Gov. George E. Pataki"

"Despite the media barrage surrounding her new book, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton made a brief appearance in Buffalo on Friday, June 6, to praise the University of Buffalo (UB)'s ambitious Bioinformatics Center of Excellence initiative."

""It has taken a lot of work to make the case to fund bioinformatics," Clinton said. "When we started, the response was, 'What's that?' " Despite this, Clinton and Reynolds have helped to earmark more than $9 million in federal funding for the project."

"Scientists on the cutting edge of drug development were comparing notes in Buffalo Friday during a symposium aimed at introducing the city's developing bioinformatics center to the scientific world."

"In Buffalo, bioinformatics is viewed as perhaps the best hope to generate jobs lost with the demise of its steel and grain-milling industries. But with several other cities around the country also investing heavily in life sciences, the center's directors are well aware of the competition for staff and resources."

"Jeff Skolnick didn't sign up for all this hype.

He did not apply to the following posting:

Savior wanted: A wunderkind in cutting-edge technology who can help build a new economy and carry the hopes of a Rust Belt region of 1.2 million people.

He just took a job heading a new academic program, the University at Buffalo's Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics."

"New York's U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton jointly announced that the Senate Appropriations Committee has approved $1 million in funding for Buffalo's planned Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics.

The $1 million was included as part of a an appropriations measure for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development."

"An optimistic Pataki declared the center "will transform western New York into a 21st Century economy."

The lofty predictions come as upstate's largest city struggles to reinvent itself from a past-its-peak industrial center losing not only jobs but people: U.S. Census figures show the population has dropped to under 300,000, down from a 1950s peak of 580,000."

"Buffalo will be the site of a Center of Excellence for Bioinformatics thanks to a $200 million collaboration between the public and private sectors.

Gov. George Pataki announced during a swing through Buffalo on Dec. 6 that the state will contribute $50 million to help establish the 150,000 square-foot facility to be located adjacent to the emerging Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. It is part of Pataki's $1 billion high-tech and biotech Centers of Excellence planned for across the state."

Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.
