BLACKSBURG, Jan. 05, 2009 - The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has released its eighth public relations annual report. The newly designed report focuses on the theme of how discovery impacts scientific research and public engagement. Readers of the report will learn how VBI research is helping scientists discover the way pathogens damage plant and animal systems, the impact of large-scale international genome sequencing projects on new applications in biotechnology, as well as how systems biology is poised to improve our clinical understanding of diseases like cancer.

The 2009 Annual Report also includes selected highlights from the past fiscal year as well as summary profiles of VBI research groups and core facilities.
