With CRC support, James Pipas and Paul Cantalupo analyze virus genomes found in mosquitoes - and in the blood meal mosquitoes draw from their prey. The mosquitoes are located, trapped, and identified using advanced drones and robotic traps in Texas, the Caribbean island of Grenada, and Tanzania. It is all part of Project Premonition, a global effort led by Microsoft Research to identify existing and emerging viruses. 
The Avogadro molecule visualizer recently celebrated 1 million downloads worldwide. Avogadro users are invited to a group meeting Saturday, Aug. 25 at Pitt's Chevron Science Center. For the schedule, go to 
Pitt CRC resources.helped create this molecular modeling image featured on the the back cover of the journal Chemical Science, depicting research by.the laboratory of John Keith, Swanson School of Engineering assistant professor of chemical engineering. PhD student Yasemin Basdogan designed the image of molecules reacting in a slowly filling cross-shaped container. She explains, “The red cross in the cover art symbolizes the medical red cross that you see on ambulances. Our model is like a paramedic team that comes with an ambulance.” 
Pitt CRC collaborator Giannis Mpourmpakis approached Lubrizol Corporation engineer Cliff Kowall to apply high-performance computing simulations to viscosity creep, an engineering problem affecting the performance of lubricating fluids.The corporate engineer learned molecular modeling provided insight into persistent engineering problems.
CRC high-performance computing resources enhance the productivity of Pitt researchers - and help improve teaching. Pitt CRC research faculty consultants serve as a resource for faculty members to explore new methods to enrich student learning while preparing them for careers.
