Cytometry is the study of cells and their environments and has been an established science for over 50 years. The living cell is the smallest independent operational unit of the body and understanding how cells work is what cytometry is all about. Cytometry is especially important today in handling the AIDS epidemic. There are between 30 and 40 million individuals in resource-poor nations infected with the HIV virus who desperately need to receive antiviral therapy.

Cytometry for Life is helping to solve the AIDS epidemic by:

• Using technology to reduce the cost of production of CD4 measuring instruments.
• Developing: manufacturing, disbritution, and administration channels to get technological solutions to those who need it most.

Scientists advise as Aszerbaijan moves into modern era.
"Azerbaijan is an oil-rich country, the pipelines are completed and oil is flowing to the West. It stands to make a lot of money. The government may now be able to address problems they didn't have the resources to deal with in the past."

The nanoHUB is a rich, web-based resource for research, education and collaboration in nanotechnology. The nanoHUB hosts over 1000 resources including Online Presentations, Courses, Learning Modules, Podcasts, Animations, Teaching Materials, and more. Resources come from over 500 contributors in the nanoscience community, and are used by thousands of users from over 170 countries around the world.

Strategic Deployment of Vehicle Detectors
This research seeks to develop a mechanism to strategically deploy vehicle detectors to infer network origin-destination (OD) demands using limited link traffic count data. It leads to the problem of the identification of "optimal" locations for installing detectors so that maximum system observability is achieved with a limited monetary budget.

Energy Center Global Partnerships began its activity in the 1990s and is the product of the work of Purdue's Power Pool Development Group (PPDG) and State Utility Forecasting Group (SUFG). Energy policy is applied to International Regional electricity and natural gas markets. A policy analysis and assessment takes place between the Purdue team and regional regulations, utilities, academic research groups, consultants, government departments, and economic regional secrerateriates.

The goal of this project is to develop a methodology to study complete cancer care trajectories using the care of pet dogs with naturally occurring cancer as a proxy to the delivery of human healthcare. The long term goal is to be able to predict cancer behavior and response to therapy in the individual patient, and thus to individualize cancer care.
