These resources include a high-speed networking laboratory with a fiber connection to a long distance network connection; DSP, digital
radio laboratory including design and fabrication capabilities; an integrated, diverse networking environment; a leading-edge photonics
research laboratory; and a 384 processor computing cluster with 37 TB of storage (see
http://www.bioinfo.ittc.ku.edu for details). Complementing the hardware resources, the Center uses some of the best-in class design, and software development, and bioinformatics tools.
ITTC resources are categorized into seven research areas, described in more detail below. In addition to the research function of the
Center, great emphasis is placed on realizing the commercial potential of the technologies and expertise developed. Therefore, many of
the software and hardware facilities that are in use in research are also used in the technology transfer function of the Center.
Common resources shared by all laboratories include over 350 networked computers running Linux or XP, a Center-wide file server
supporting 37 TB of on-line storage, and a Gigibit Ethernet connection to the Campus network.
