BLASTer is an online tool to run BLAST protein searchers on the DiaGrid
Hub at https://diagrid.org. BLASTer lets a user configure, submit and
monitor BLAST searches (jobs) and obtain output data all from a
convenient graphical interface.

HUBzero allows you to create dynamic web sites that connect a community in scientific research and educational activities. HUBzero sites combine powerful Web 2.0 concepts with a middleware that provides instant access to interactive simulation tools. These tools are not just Java applets, but real research codes that can access TeraGrid, the Open Science Grid, and other national Grid computing resources for extra cycles.

HUBzero was created by researchers at Purdue University in conjunction with the NSF-sponsored Network for Computational Nanotechnology. The technology was originally developed to support nanoHUB.org, a national resource for nanotechnology simulation. It has since been extended to create science gateways for other scientific domains.

A tour of Purdues virtual pharmacy clean room and the story of its creation.

Steve Abel, assistant dean for clinical programs, School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Purdue University, talks about the motivation for creating a virtual clean room to train students and highlights techniques used to make it a highly realistic, immersive experience.

Steve Dunlop, managing director of Purdue Universitys Envision Center for Data Perceptualization, explains how the virtual clean room came about, how Purdue students and staff brought it to life from hundreds of digital pictures of real clean rooms, and how the technology might be used in other fields.

Live stations, where Purdue University pharmacy students must identify and properly categorize actual medication containers, are designed to complement the students experience in the virtual clean room.

A fly-through video created by students at Purdue Universitys Envision Center for Data Perceptualization offers an overall tour of the virtual pharmacy clean room.

Steve Abel, assistant dean for clinical programs, School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Purdue University, directs a student as she explores the virtual clean room and its features, including some things that shouldnt be there.

Molly Mason, a Purdue University pharmacy student, talks about how dressing in sterile gowns, gloves, masks and other garb while working in the virtual clean room enhances the experience and better prepares students to work in real clean rooms during their practicum year.

Sam Durham, a Purdue University pharmacy student, discusses how the virtual clean room experience has prepared him for working with sterile medications and reacts to the technology underpinning the immersive environment.

Christopher Sprunger, a Purdue University Envision Center for Data Perceptualization graphic artist and one of the virtual clean rooms creators, describes how the immersive environment was built and some of the challenges in creating it.

Carrie Jacobs, a Purdue University pharmacy doctoral student and virtual clean room instructor, discusses what students, and the patients who eventually encounter them, gain from the time the future pharmacists spend in the simulator.

Sheetal Patel, a Purdue University Pharmacy fellow and virtual clean room instructor, highlights how lab sessions using the virtual clean room and live stations in conjunction with it better prepare students for working with medications in professional practice.

Ashley Vincent, a Purdue University pharmacy resident and virtual clean room instructor, talks about developing the curriculum for students working in the immersive environment and about its stunning realism.
