Ep. 11: Indiana's Higher Ed Research Landscape with Jeff Rhoads

Indiana’s life sciences strength is built from more than just the companies here—it's rooted in the research, discovery and innovation happening at our world-class universities—and in our ability to turn those discoveries into technologies, innovations, and ultimately better outcomes for patients.In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at one of Indiana’s most important research institutions and the role it can play in the next chapter of our state’s innovation economy.Our guest is Jeff Rhoads, vice president of research at the University of Notre Dame. Jeff brings a unique perspective on Notre Dame’s research enterprise, the evolving landscape of science and engineering, and the opportunities to move groundbreaking research from the lab into the real world.We’ll talk about what makes Notre Dame’s research ecosystem distinctive, where there are opportunities for greater collaboration across Indiana, and how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, advanced computing, engineering and data science are changing biomedical research.
