July 2008 Bioinform, one of GenomeWeb’s Application-Focus Newsletters, featured the Daggett Group’s research in an article by Vivien Marx in July of 2008.

June 2008 Microsoft featured the Group’s integration of Windows software in a Case Study in June of 2008. High-performance computing clusters running Windows Compute Cluster Server are used to run the lab’s molecular dynamics software with better performance than the optimized Linux version, and Microsoft SQL Server powers the 14-terabyte Dynameomics Database. The group’s application of Microsoft’s…

Bleeding Edge Biotech, a blog hosted by University of Pittsburgh computational biologist Adam Kraut, highlighted the Dynameomics Project in April of 2008.

The Daggett Lab was awarded 10 million processor hours for 2008 on the Department of Energy’s supercomputers! The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), located in Berkeley, CA, is one of the largest computing facilities in the world for basic scientific research.

The Washington Research Foundation highlighted the Group’s in house molecular dynamics software, in lucem molecular mechanics, in their 2007 Annual Report.

The Daggett Group was named a UW Technology Gap Innovation Fund Recipient for 2007. This grant supports development of a graphical user interface and protein and drug design functionality for ilmm, the Group’s in house molecular dynamics software.

September 2007 The Daggett Group’s work on prion protein was referenced in the September 2007 issue of Wellcome Trust’s Big Pictures Series on Epidemics.

August 27, 2007 The work on prion protein was again cited in the August 2007 Issue of Chemical and Engineering News.

The Dynameomics project and potential startup company was featured in the Biomedical Computation Review article “Biocomputation Startups: Where Does Value Lie?” by Katharine Miller. [PDF]
