For six decades, the U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE''s) Argonne National Laboratory has excelled in conducting scientific research in support of a secure future for the nation. From Argonne''s inception, the University of Chicago has managed and operated the laboratorya laboratory that has become a scientific leader for DOE and the country. Achievements and honors earned by Argonne researchers include three Nobel Prizes, 90 R&D 100 awards, 700 national and international awards and honors, 750 patents and the start of over 30 small businesses. Argonne National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy''s oldest and largest national laboratories for science and engineering research, employs roughly 3,200 employees, including about 1,000 scientists and engineers, three-quarters of whom hold doctoral degrees. Argonne''s mission is to apply a unique mix of world-class science, engineering and user facilities to deliver innovative research and technologies. We create new knowledge that addresses the most important scientific and societal needs of our nation. Research at Argonne centers around three principal areas: *Energy ** Energy Storage: Argonne develops transformational energy storage systems that enable and enhance electric-drive vehicles and a green-energy grid through electrical energy storage development, prototype and manufacturing process engineering, stationary storage and grid management, and electric transportation systems. ** Alternative Energy and Efficiency: Argonne is developing the next generation of alternative energy sources to promote energy independence through improved chemical fuels, advanced biofuels, and solar energy systems, as well as through the optimization of fuel and engine dynamics. ** Nuclear Energy: Argonne develops advanced reactor and fuel cycle systems including fast reactor and fuel cycle technologies, advanced modeling and simulation methods, and innovative nuclear energy systems to enable the safe and sustainable generation of nuclear energy. * Biological and Environmental Systems: Argonne produces integrated molecular-scale, hydrological, economic and social computational models to enable regionally focused ecological and climate assessments through metagenome analysis, protein discovery, regional climate prediction and integrated climate, energy and economic discovery. * National Security: Argonne provides critical security technologies that prevent and mitigate events with potential for mass disruption or destruction through the nonproliferation and forensics of weapons of mass destruction, decision sciences, new sensors and materials, and cyber security.

The Anthony Nolan Research Institute is fully dedicated to improving the outcome of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The three main problems in BMT are graft versus host disease (GvHD) which is caused by differences in human leucocyte antigens (HLA), viral infection and the separation of GvHD from the graft versus leukaemia effect (GvL). Therefore, the five main aims of our Research Institute are the: # Investigation of the significance of HLA disparities between donor and patient at the molecular level and to analyze their influence on the outcome of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). # Maintenance and development of the HLA and KIR Sequence Databases. # Isolation and characterization of antigenic peptides from cytomegalovirus that act as targets for cytotoxic T-cell mediated responses. # Identification of target peptides and effector cells involved in graft versus leukemia (GvL). # Identification of target peptides and effector cells which initiate, maintain or perpetuate graft versus host disease (GvHD). During the past ten years our research team has made significant progress in many areas. For example, we have developed a new method that allows us to detect molecular differences that might be responsible for graft rejection and have identified CMV virus peptides that might be relevant in the future use of vaccinations. We are also studying the mechanisms of differentiation of the immune response after transplant and in this way we might be able to treat early stage GvHD. One of the most important activities of the Research Institute is orientated to academic teaching and training. We have established a structured research organization where a senior scientist is in charge of an individual research area and has under their supervision a team consisting of postdoctoral research fellows; PhD students and technicians. The teams interact with one another, as many of the projects overlap and this enables the sharing of experience and facilities.

An autonomous institution established through an Act of Parliament to serve as a nucleus for nurturing excellence in all aspects of health care. The object was to develop patterns of teaching in Undergraduate and Post-graduate Medical Education in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard of Medical Education in India; to bring together in one place educational facilities of the highest order for the training of personnel in all important branches of health activity; and to attain self-sufficiency in Post-graduate Medical Education. The Institute has comprehensive facilities for teaching, research and patient-care. As provided in the Act, AIIMS conducts teaching programs in medical and para-medical courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and awards its own degrees. Teaching and research are conducted in 42 disciplines. In the field of medical research AIIMS is the lead, having more than 600 research publications by its faculty and researchers in a year. AIIMS also runs a College of Nursing and trains students for B.Sc.(Hons.) Nursing post-certificate) degrees. Twenty-five clinical departments including four super specialty centers manage practically all types of disease conditions with support from pre- and Para-clinical departments. However, burn cases, dog-bite cases and patients suffering from infectious diseases are not entertained in the AIIMS Hospital. AIIMS also manages a 60-bed hospital in the Comprehensive Rural Health Centre at Ballabgarh in Haryana and provides health cover to about 2.5 lakh population through the Centre for Community Medicine.

Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is committed to the advancement of health, with an array of degree programs designed to help students succeed in pharmacy and other health related fields. There are nearly 1,600 students enrolled at ACPHS and more than 100 full- and part-time faculty. The College''s main campus is located in Albany, New York; its satellite campus is in Colchester, Vermont. The College offers a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) program; four-year bachelor''s degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Health and Human Sciences and Biomedical Technology; and a certificate program in Cytotechnology. Opportunities exist for students within each of these programs to work side-by-side with faculty on groundbreaking research in areas such as cancer, infectious disease and obesity. These experiences, along with access to resources such as the cutting edge Pharmaceutical Research Institute, are rarely afforded to undergraduates at most schools and are part of what distinguishes ACPHS from other colleges and universities. ACPHS also offers master''s degree programs in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Health Outcomes Research and Pharmacy Administration. In addition, students may pursue joint degrees in the fields of medicine, law and business through cooperative agreements with area institutions. Graduates of the College are prepared for a range of careers such as: biochemist, clinical laboratory scientist, consumer safety officer, drug information specialist, environmental toxicologist, health policy analyst, hospital administrator, pharmacist, physician, physician assistant and research scientist. The College is not only focused on the success of its own students, but also students throughout the region. ACPHS operates several programs for underserved youth in the area, each of which is designed to help them improve self confidence, develop new interests and skills, and inspire them to one day attend college themselves.
