Wright State University's Centers of Excellence in BioHealth
Innovation are conducting cutting-edge research in neuroscience,
creating unique training opportunities for medical readiness, and
transforming computing to mimic productive thinking and decision
making.
- Wright State University & Premier Health Partners Neuroscience Institute: This center speeds the transfer of research discoveries from bench to bedside, improving the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders such as stroke and the complications of injury or diabetes.
- National Center for Medical Readiness: This center offers training for disaster-response decision makers from around the world, focusing on medicine as its core component.
- Knowledge-Enabled and Human-Centered Computing: Using the latest technology, this center focuses on making sense of data in ways that refl ect human experience and effectiveness.
Driving Economic Advancement
The Wright State University & Premier Health Partners Neuroscience Institute will create partnerships and develop a new, world-class Department of Neurology. The National Center for Medical Readiness is expected to generate an economic impact of $374 million to the Dayton region over a five-year period. The center for Knowledge-Enabled and Human-Centered Computing is expected to generate $13 million of research in fi ve years and $19.5 million in 10 years.
Benchmarks
- Achieve recognition of excellence in research targeted at movement disorders
- Become the fi rst site in the United States to fully integrate the civilian and military medical and non-medical responses that occur in a disaster or other complex rescue situation
- Increase recognition and areas of expertise in knowledge-enabled and human-centered computing
Goals (five-year period)
- Build a state-of-the-art laboratory building for neuroscience
- Generate a direct and indirect economic impact of $374 million to the Dayton region through the National Center for Medical Readiness
- Generate $13 million of research in fi ve years for the center in knowledge-enabled and humancentered computing
Metrics
- Number of new jobs in neurology, federal funding for research, and new patients for clinical trials
- Increase in tourism, overnight stays in the region, sales and income tax revenues from training at the National Center for Medical Readiness
- Increased research funding, better job placement and salaries for graduating students, higher citation for publications, and increased collaborations with regional, national, and international companies in the fi eld of semantic computing
