Transformative technology Cutting-edge tools drive discovery. Technological advances are a driver for success, accelerating discovery and reducing the time it takes for our researchers to make a real-world impact. Because technology in genomics is rapidly advancing, HudsonAlpha is committed to having the most updated tools and equipment.
In 2024, donor support made possible the establishment of the Bio-Cybersecurity Lab and Security Enclave , as well as the purchase of a powerful confocal microscope and a new
PacBio® long-read Revio® DNA sequencer. BIO-CYBERSECURITY LAB AND SECURITY ENCLAVE
Biotech and genomics involve tremendous volumes of digital data that must be protected to safeguard individual privacy and intellectual property. It is also crucial to ensure that future generations of the cybersecurity workforce are properly trained in securing genomic data. To address these needs, HudsonAlpha launched the Bio-Cybersecurity Lab and Security Enclave, a program that secures the Institute’s own data while partnering with other cybersecurity centers of excellence to help train and support students in cybersecurity. The Bio-Cybersecurity Lab and Security Enclave were made possible by a generous gift from the Mahbubani family and the EKTA Foundation . HudsonAlpha is grateful for the family’s ongoing support of HudsonAlpha’s most innovative and forward-thinking programs.
“The lab will secure HudsonAlpha’s research capabilities, its educational programs, and its partnerships with organizations and businesses across the country while taking bio-cybersecurity to another level. It will positively impact so many elements of HudsonAlpha’s mission and operations.” —Ashok and Amrita Mahbubani
