±¬ÁÏ¹Ï is advancing a strategic research transformation that connects faculty to powerful digital infrastructure, AI tools, and integrated support systems designed to accelerate discovery and expand impact. This effort supports secure, scalable, and interdisciplinary research. This transformation is both technical and strategic. Through cloud-based computing, AI-driven research environments, and emerging immersive platforms, faculty are gaining unprecedented access to tools that reduce friction and expand possibility – from grant writing and modeling to data integration and visualization.
AI Incubator
±¬ÁϹÏ's new AI Incubator provides researchers with access to Vertex AI for training and deploying models, and AgentSpace for building and testing intelligent agents, enabling applied AI research across disciplines.
Faculty have access to a suite of AI research tools ¾±²Ô³¦±ô³Ü»å¾±²Ô²µâ€¯NotebookLM for literature synthesis,  GrantAI for proposal support, and AlphaFold for protein structure prediction. These tools are all designed to streamline research workflows and expand AI adoption.
Cloud-Based Research
A robust cloud-based research ecosystem supports high-performance computing (HPC), HIPAA-aligned Cloud Folders, BigQuery, Earth Engine, and simulation environments through Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and AWS, offering scalable and secure infrastructure for interdisciplinary research. Application access supports medical data integration, enabling AI-assisted medical analytics, clinical outcomes studies, and population health research.
