About the NUMS Faculty Research Interest Database and search engine

The scope of the database was defined based on the results of a survey taken of research faculty in the Medical School. The results are available on-line, and help clarify what should be included in the database, how the database should be updated, what the database should be defined to do, and how much of the database should be made available to the NU community and to the world.

The web search engine prototype simply parses pre-existing faculty web pages. At present, the database consists of pages parsed from the faculty web pages found at the following web sites:

Cell and Molecular Biology
Molecular Pharmacology and Biological Chemistry
Physiology
Integrated Graduate Program (IGP)
Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)
IBiS
NUIN
