Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC)

by

Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC) is part of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, in the Perelman School of Medicine, at the University of Pennsylvania. PNGC studies genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease and other related dementia. Our researchers apply high throughput genotyping and sequencing technologies to analyze tens of thousands of genomes and find novel genes. New experimental approaches, algorithms, and databases are developed in order to translate these findings into biological knowledge about the disease and new directions for drug discovery and preventive strategies.

PRECISE

by

The PRECISE (Penn Research In Embedded Computing and Integrated Systems Engineering) Center was established in 2008 to bring together experts from the electrical systems engineering and computer science fields to study the way machines interact with the physical world through their computing systems, aka Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). CPS and IoT work has a direct, powerful impact on healthcare, energy, and transportation – all essential and important facets of modern society.
