In collaboration with Dr. Ron Lechan the Chief of Endocrinology at the Tufts Medcal Center, Lakshmanan Iyer and Ron Lechan are applying cutting edge, next generation sequencing technology to determine the gene expression profile of Tanycytes, a special cell of glial origin in the brain. While much is known about the anatomy of these cells, their physiologic functions remain speculative and enigmatic. The results of these studies would provide clues towards their function. This analysis requires considerable amount of disk storage and CPU time. Without the Tufts high performance cluster and the associated storage it would be impossible to make sense of this data.
