I have to tell you I’m having just a bit of déjà vu today because it seems to me
that just a couple of years ago I was standing here maybe exactly here announcing a great new
supercomputer that the University had just put into place
and at that time we were celebrating the installation of our brand new IBM
supercomputer as one of the most powerful academic computers in the nation
that supercomputer is already out of space just two years later
fortunately we were able to give it a boost doubling its capacity thanks to
a 1.8 million dollar grant from the U.S. health resources and services administration
we have a very strong energy research program and they’re working
with the expansion on actually learning how to better store cellar energy
already on the cluster cancer cures have rolled out and people’s lives have been saved
and as Dr. Willihnganz just pointed out with the new addition
and the expansion our cancer researchers are going to target pediatric cancers
over the last three years we’ve found new drugs against 25 different cancer
targets which is certainly comparable probably better than any other cancer center in the U.S.
so it’s a tremendous resource and it’s not just me I’m just one of 20 different researchers
with the existing resource we were able to take cancer drug discovery from years down to weeks
with this enhancement we can take that now down to days
I believe the combination as we look at the economic transformations
that we’re seeing around the world and the new technologies
we’re seeing are really going to prompt a transformation between
government, universities, cities, families, colleges,
So we here working with all of you at the pediatric cancer, cellar energy
research, with your faculty, with your community with Pricilla
and the team would like to thank you
This research is going to make a big difference and we are honored
to continue to be the partner of choice with the University
so thank you very much
