The Center for Children''s Environmental Health and Disease Prevention is a multi-disciplinary collaborative research organization established to examine how toxic chemicals may influence the development of autism in children. The Center''s goal is to contribute knowledge about autism that will lead to new strategies for the prevention and treatment of this mysterious condition. Parents and health professionals have raised concerns about how environmental factors such as pesticides, a variety of chemicals, or even some ingredients included in vaccines may effect the development of the disorder. We are the first center to examine the roles of a wide range of toxic chemicals, genetic predisposition, and the interplay between these two in altering brain development during early life and leading to abnormal social behavior in children. Scientists in the CCEH study the effects of the environment on children''s health, with a particular focus on autism. Researchers come from all fields including molecular biology, medicine, nutrition, psychology, animal behavior, and genetics. The Center''s research is guided by an Advisory Board with representatives including parents, activists, non-profits, government agencies, and concerned citizens. This Center is one of several children''s centers throughout the nation funded by the U.S. EPA and NIEHS.

Non-profit research institution that studies marine and non-marine organisms to learn about the basic biology of life. Our scientists make critical discoveries about how organisms adapt to their environment and how environment, health, and genetics are related. They study a wide range of organisms such as sharks, skates, and sea urchins to learn about development and regeneration. They investigate the root causes of diseases like cystic fibrosis, and they examine the mechanisms that make living creatures age. Research at MDIBL takes place within three centers: the Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine, the Martha and Wistar Morris Center for Environmental Health Sciences, and the John W. and Jean C. Boylan Center for Cellular and Molecular Physiology. Scientists at each center include both permanent MDIBL faculty and adjunct faculty who come to MDIBL for a few weeks or an entire season, often year after year. Short courses, symposia, and fellowships provide research experience and training to students and scientists at all levels, from high school and college through medical school and senior investigators. Our education programs are always hands-on and engage students in meaningful research. MDIBL is the lead institution for the Maine IDeA Network for Biomedical Researcha research and education network linking MDIBL with The Jackson Laboratory and ten Maine colleges and universities.

Mark Musen''s laboratory studies components for building knowledge-based systems, controlled terminologies and ontologies, and technology for the Semantic Web. For more than two decades, Musen''s group has worked to elucidate reusable building blocks of intelligent systems, and to develop scalable computational architectures for systems with significant applications in biomedicine. Informatics is the study of information: its structure, its communication, and its use. As society becomes increasingly information intensive, the need to understand, create, and apply new methods for modeling, managing, and acquiring information has never been greater especially in biomedicine. BMIR is home to world class scientists and trainees developing cutting-edge ways to acquire, represent, process, and manage knowledge and data related to health, health care, and the biomedical sciences. Our faculty, students, and staff are committed to ensuring the biomedical community is properly equipped for the information age, and believe our efforts will provide the structure for the burgeoning revolution of health care and the biomedical sciences.

MIALAB, headed by Dr. Vince Calhoun, focuses on developing and optimizing methods and software for quantitative analysis of structure and function in medical images with particular focus on the study of psychiatric illness. We work with many types of data, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), electroencephalography (EEG), structural imaging and genetic data. Much of our time is spent working on new methods for flexible analysis of brain imaging data. The use of data driven approaches is very useful for extracting potentially unpredictable patterns within these data. However such methods can be further improved by incorporating additional prior information as constraints, in order to benefit from what we know. To this end, we draw heavily from the areas of image processing, adaptive signal processing, estimation theory, neural networks, statistical signal processing, and pattern recognition.

https://www.infrafrontier.eu/emma/

Non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant strains essential for basic biomedical research. Users may browse by strain, gene, phenotype, or human disease. Its primary objective is to establish and manage a unified repository for maintaining medically relevant mouse mutants and making them available to the scientific community. Therefore, EMMA archives mutant strains and distributes them to requesting researchers. EMMA also hosts courses in cryopreservation, to promote the use and dissemination of frozen embryos and spermatozoa. Dissemination of knowledge is further fostered by a dedicated resource database. Anybody who wants their mutant mouse strains cryopreserved may deposit strains with EMMA. However depositors must be aware that these strains become freely available to other researchers after being deposited.With more than 8400 mutant mouse strains and asmall but increasing number of rat mutant strains available, EMMA is the primary mouse repository in Europe and the third largest non-profit repository worldwide.
