Lab)  LUCI (Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction)  Game Culture & Technology Lab

4 Materials Research  Negotiated with Zeiss to establish Zeiss Microscopy Center in Calit2 building Focused Ion Beam, FEG-SEM and Environmental SEM totaling $2.5M in value provided at no cost by Zeiss  Thermal analysis lab and scanning microprobe lab established with contributions from HSSoE, Calit2 and faculty members  BioMEMS lab to be established in new cleanroom  NSF provided $380k for nanoimprinting facility in cleanroom

5 Calit2 UCI/UCSD Team Studying Collaborative Practice  Biomedical Informatics Research Network Integration of collaboration technologies into medical practice & research Integration of collaboration & distributed visualization  Supporting Communities of Practice Collaboration is not just “multiple users” Understand collective action & collective practice How communities shape individual actions  Organic Growth Is Key “Technology First” Solutions Fail Let Technology & Practice Develop Together Design for Evolution & Adaptation Source: Paul Dourish, UCI

6 Seed Funded Projects  Eco-Raft: Tomlinson and Carpenter  Synthesizing nano-monoclonal plastic antibodies: Lee and Shea  Remote monitoring of spinal cord injury recovery: Cramer & Lopes  Silicon-based lasers: Tsai et al.  BIRN visualization: Kuester and Potkin  BIRN collaboration: Dourish, Mark and Potkin  Impact of Telecommunication and IT development in China: Zhu  Single molecule spectroscopy: Apkarian & Ho

7 Emerging Projects Medical data fusion: Linskey, Li, Lopes (UCI) and Martin (UCLA) –Integrate spinal cord injury data from depts of neurosurgery at UCI, UCLA, and eventually UCSD, UCSF, and UCD Telemedicine: Lott and Jain –Remote immersive tele-clinic for psychiatric evaluation House Calls by Telerobotdoc: Clayman, InTouch Health and Cyberinfrastructure TEAM project (NSF) Clinical Translational Science Center (NIH)
