TIGR International Travel Fellowships
The Institute for Genomic Research is pleased to announce its new International Travel Fellowship. The Fellowship is designed to provide established researchers from developing countries with an interest in computational genomics the unique opportunity to interact with TIGR's faculty as well as participate in one of our scientific conferences. The objective of this program is to foster collaborative relationships between these organizations, TIGR, and other members of the genomic research community.

Strausberg, Leading Genomic Scientist, to Become TIGR's V.P. for Research
Genomics innovator Robert L. Strausberg, who directs the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Genomics Office, has been named as TIGR's Vice President for Research. Strausberg has played an important role in the development of innovative tools and technologies for genome research, both at the NCI - where he helped devise new ways to collect and apply genomic information that is important to cancer research - and previously at the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Human Genome Research, where he headed the Sequencing Technology Branch from 1994-96.

Genome Analysis Sheds Light on Mobile DNA's Role in Pathogen's Resistance to Vancomycin
TIGR's sequencing and analysis of the genome of a vancomycin-resistant strain of Enterococcus faecalis has found that nearly a third of the genome consists of "mobile elements" -- segments of DNA that can jump between organisms or their chromosones -- that appear to play an important role in helping the bacterium quickly acquire resistance to drugs.
New Mobile Lab To Bolster Bioscience Education
The nation's newest and largest mobile laboratory, the MdBioLab, will be launched in early February to help Maryland high schools enhance their bioscience education programs. TIGR has partnered with MdBio, Inc., and the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute to create this innovative non-profit project.
