Albert Einstein College of Medicine New York City, New York
he Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, or just Einstein for short, is a research- intensive medical school dedicated
to medical education, research and biomedical investigation. To give you an idea of the full size of Einstein, we have more than 3,000 faculty and staff, 750 medical students and 245 PhD students, and more than 300 research laboratories. Our core mission is divided between educating medical students and our high-end research programme. One of my roles is to deliver and maintain
the computational resources necessary for the collection, analysis, visualisation and storage of biophotonics data sets – harnessing photons to detect, image and manipulate biological material. What makes us different from other
research institutes is that we develop technology that is designed to meet specific research goals. Specifically, my research involves the engineering of optical microscopes and instrumentation that help scientists observe single biological molecules within living cells – which entails developing soſtware to control microscope
HAVING
IDENTIFIED THE CHALLENGES, WE KNEW THAT OUR NEW
SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE EASY TO MANAGE
