For Basic Researchers, Janelia Farm Will Offer Unparalleled Resources

Charles Marwick

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

A unique facility with the aim of moving biomedical research forward in the 21st century is under construction some 30 miles from Washington, D.C. But it will not be just another research laboratory. Rather, the plan is to take advantage of the developing technologies and tools that are opening new doors and, in turn, develop as yet unknown ways to advance the next generation of biomedical research. It is an ambitious project and one that does not exist anywhere in the United States today.

Funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in Bethesda, Md., the $500 million facility—the Janelia Farm Research Campus, a 281-acre site on the Potomac River in Ashburn, Va.—will be home to a research staff of 200 to 300 people, with laboratories available for about 100 visiting researchers.
