ATIP02. 048: Bio-Molecular Motors Research in Japan: Update
ABSTRACT: The report ATIP02.006, February 2002, described the major Japanese projects involved in Bio-Molecular Motors research. The current report is an update on that earlier report. It is based upon in-person interviews with leading Japanese scientists working on motor proteins. There are approximately 50 relevant Japanese research groups and many of these are listed here, although our report covers only a small fraction of overall research activities.

ATIP02. 050: AIST's Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC)
ABSTRACT: The Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC) at the National Institute for Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) is the leading center for computational biology and bioinformatics related software development in Japan. In addition, CBRC is one of the few applications oriented centers for large-scale computing research in Japan. CBRC is unique as a research organization in a Japanese context. Our report covers the CBRC's background and funding status and provides an overview of present activities.

ATIP02. 051: MEMS Research Initiatives in India
ABSTRACT: Several government agencies in India are supporting research on micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), with the largest coordinated effort being the two-year old National Program on Smart Materials (NPSM). Indian research on MEMS is likely to intensify with two other public-funded programs to complement the NPSM. The government is also making concerted efforts to sensitize Indian industry to market opportunities in MEMS. This report discusses the NPSM and other programs, cites examples of projects, analyzes motivations driving India’s MEMS initiatives and examines hurdles that India will have to address to develop and commercialize indigenous MEMS technologies.
