University of Colorado Systems Biotechnology Building

描述（由申请人提供）：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校计划在2009年9月为新的系统生物技术大楼破土动工。该建筑将为科罗拉多分子生物技术倡议（CIMB）提供高质量、leed认证的互动实验室空间，其中包括计算机科学家、化学家、物理学家和工程师，他们的工作对生物医学科学家有影响。目前的提案要求拨款在生物技术大楼为生物化学家和结构生物学家建造空间，否则这些空间将保持空壳状态。通过允许这些生化科学家在CIMB科学家附近工作，将创建一个充满活力的多学科研究计划。三个领域的科学重点是非编码rna在生物学和医学，细胞信号和结构生物学。将基础研究转化为医学，将得到该项目创新生物技术重点的帮助，该项目涉及生物技术商业和科学方面的当地和国家专家，以及该大学利兹商学院的创业项目。因此，创造就业机会将发生在三个不同的层面：实验室建设和装修，由于建筑的设计已经在进行中，因此立即产生影响；建设完成后聘用的新教师、辅助人员和行政人员；并刺激当地生物技术行业的新就业机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado-Boulder plans ground-breaking for a new Systems Biotechnology Building in September, 2009. This building will provide high-quality, LEED-certified, interactive laboratory space for the Colorado Initiative in Molecular Biotechnology (CIMB), which includes computer scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers whose work impacts on the biomedical scientists. The current proposal requests funds to build out space for biochemists and structural biologists in the Biotech Building - space which would otherwise remain shelled. By allowing these biochemical scientists to work in proximity to CIMB scientists, a vibrant multidisciplinary research program would be created. The three areas of scientific focus are non- coding RNAs in biology and medicine, cell signaling, and structural biology. The translation of this basic research into medicine will be aided by the innovative biotechnology focus of the program, which involves local and national experts in the business and scientific aspects of biotech and the entrepreneurship program of the university's Leeds School of Business. Thus, job creation will occur at three distinct levels: laboratory construction and fit-out, an immediate impact given that the design of the building is already well underway; new faculty, support staff, and administrative staff to be hired upon completion of construction; and stimulation of new jobs in the local biotech industry.
