Technology
Most people understand technology's role in the business world. People use computers every day for commerce, communication and marketing. But what about biological scientists? These lab-coat clad researchers expect more from their systems, have great data computational needs and need to analyze their research in a way that can lead to medical breakthroughs. Biology meets information technology at the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Bryon Campbell, Van Andel Institute's CIO, and Paul Hillman discuss what goes on at VAI, how scientists use technology to analyze their research and what projects are currently underway on Health Hill.
