The BHIRC was honored to be invited to a local company, LifeOmic, to share our ongoing research and explore how we could work together to benefit both of us. Tom Barber, the Chief Scientific Officer, hosted a gathering of academic researchers and company scientists to share our common research objectives. Dr. Sarath Chandra Janga, Dr. Xiaowen Liu and Dr. Saptarshi Purkayastha presented their research initiatives, which led to robust discussions of how our two organizations can work together. As a result, we are currently exploring ways in which the power of industry and academia can result in better solutions for Indiana.
