Fostering the success of the biotech industry
HudsonAlpha’s Huntsville biotech campus strengthens and diversifies Alabama’s economy by supporting the success of life sciences compa- nies. The 152-acre campus within Cummings Research Park supports more than 45 businesses focused on diagnostics, medical devices, drug and therapeutic development and other biotech innovations.
HudsonAlpha’s expert scientists, geneticists, and bioinforma- ticians use genomics to improve life, whether that be the diag- nosis, treatment, and prevention of human disease or improve- ments to plants that provide us with nutritious food, sustainable fuel and fiber sources, and a healthy environment. Scientists at HudsonAlpha are some of the best in the world at sequenc- ing, analyzing, and interpreting organismal genomes, having sequenced more than 200 novel plant reference genomes and tens of thousands of human genomes. Neurological and psychiatric disorders HudsonAlpha scientists sequence and analyze genomic information to pinpoint genes and genetic factors responsible for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, leading to breakthroughs in risk identification, diagnosis, and treatment. Rare and undiagnosed disease HudsonAlpha scientists analyze the entire genome of people suffering from undiagnosed diseases to find gene changes that might explain their symptoms, affording diagnoses to hundreds of individuals. Cancer
DNA contains the genetic code of all living things. The study of genomics helps us understand the basis of life, health, disease and biodiversity. HudsonAlpha is inspiring the next generation of scientists through educational programs classroom tools and digital learning opportunities. HudsonAlpha education programs are helping build a STEM workforce of tomorrow and a genomic-literate society.
