The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is an independent private foundation dedicated to advancing the biomedical sciences by supporting research and other scientific and educational activities. Within this broad mission, BWF has two primary goals: * To help scientists early in their careers develop as independent investigators * To advance fields in the basic biomedical sciences that are undervalued or in need of particular encouragement BWF''s financial support is channeled primarily through competitive peer-reviewed award programs. * BWF''s endowment: $586.8 million at the end of FY 2009 * BWF approved $26.4 million in grants during FY 2009 BWF makes grants primarily to degree-granting institutions on behalf of individual researchers, who must be nominated by their institutions. To complement these competitive award programs, BWF also makes grants to nonprofit organizations conducting activities intended to improve the general environment for science. A Board of Directors comprising distinguished scientists and business leaders governs BWF. BWF was founded in 1955 as the corporate foundation of the pharmaceutical firm Burroughs Wellcome Co. In 1993, a generous gift from the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom, enabled BWF to become fully independent from the company, which was acquired by Glaxo in 1995. BWF has no affiliation with any corporation.

http://bioinformatics.ubc.ca/matrix2png/

An open visualization tool for the display of matrix data. It is available for download or interactive web use. It is a simple but powerful program for making visualizations of microarray data and many other data types. It generates PNG formatted images from text files of data. It is fast, easy to use, and reasonably flexible. It can be used to generate publication-quality images, or to act as a image generator for web applications. Our group has found it useful for imaging all kinds of matrix-based data, not just microarray data.

The Barth Syndrome Foundation, together with our affiliates, is a community of families, physicians, scientists, donors and volunteers around the world. As our mission statement says, we are dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment, and finding a cure for Barth syndrome - a sometimes fatal, oftentimes debilitating genetic disease. Our work includes: * Raising awareness among physicians, scientists, and the general public; * Supporting relevant research through an international grant research program; * Providing a caring and educational community for affected families; and * Hosting a unique information resource. Working together we are making a difference in the lives of children and their families. One day there will be a cure; we hope you will help us make that day come sooner. We are the only world-wide volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment and pursuit of a cure for Barth syndrome (BTHS). We started in 2000, after the first international conference held in Baltimore, MD (USA) where families from around the world met to discuss BTHS. As a result, we made a unanimous decision to work together to find a cure for this multi-system disorder. Our Foundation strives to accelerate progress through collaboration between families and scientists. We encourage family participation in research. Also, we provide several ways to keep up-to-date about advances in science and medicine. Our principal education event is our biennial international scientific, medical and family conference, which brings together the largest number of individuals interested in Barth syndrome. Our Family Services team is continually developing new informational resources in response to the needs of families, individuals, and professionals working with those affected by Barth syndrome.

AlloSource is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 on a promise to honor and respect the gift of donation by responsibly developing, processing and distributing life-saving and life-enhancing allografts for our communities. Today, each of our 300 employees continues to fulfill this promise through multi-shift, 360-day processing to the highest quality and service standards. We strive to be the tissue network patients and the world''s most respected transplant teams ask for by name. This is accomplished by understanding the needs of our doctors and by providing the best tissue for our recipients. We offer more than 200 standard and customized precision allograft products, and act as a trusted and knowledgeable partner to the medical community, all with the intention of maximizing medical impact. In 1995, Allosource evolved from a local tissue bank in Denver, Colorado into a national organization serving communities around the country. Today, AlloSource is one of the largest, most respected tissue banks in the United States. Through our growth we''ve remained committed to the wishes of donor families, the needs of our surgeon customers, and the hopes of our patient recipients. Our promise of doing more with life reflects our unwavering focus on integrity, quality, safety, and respect today, and into the future.

http://mvz.berkeley.edu/

The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ) at the University of California, Berkeley, is a center for research and education in the biology of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Founded in 1908, the Museum''s mission is to document and increase understanding of the diversity of terrestrial vertebrates, with particular emphasis on western North America. An MVZ Video Gallery is also available. The superb collections are at the heart of the MVZ program, where methods of field biology are combined with modern laboratory techniques and analytical methods in a comprehensive, synthetic approach. Our goals are to remain at the forefront of international research on evolutionary biology from the perspectives of systematics, ecology, behavior, functional and developmental morphology, population biology, and evolutionary genomics, and to lead the way in developing and using major natural history collections for research, education, and solving problems in biodiversity conservation. Because the MVZ was founded upon a philosophy that organisms should be studied in relationship to their natural environments, its collections are supplemented by extensive ancillary information (e.g., field notes, habitat photographs, tape-recorded vocalizations) that is connected to specimens and/or tissues and enhances their value to researchers. This concept was pioneered at the MVZ and continues to be the primary focus of current research efforts. To this end, there are strong research links between the Museum and the 2,000 acre MVZ/UC field station at Hastings Natural History Reservation. In addition, the MVZ is actively engaged in developing concepts and tools for Biodiversity Informatics through collaborations across the Berkeley Natural History Museums and international consortia.
