Knowles unveiled plans for two new scientific centers: a genomics and proteomics center that will promote cutting-edge research in genes and an imaging and mesoscale materials center that will focus on a variety of minute objects, from microchips to machines.
In addition, two other centers appear to be on the way. Knowles said he expects to create centers for neuroscience and information technology for scientific research next.
Knowles agreed, saying the plan will help ensure that "the most exciting research and teaching are done here, by the most exciting people."
The California Institute of Technology as well as Stanford and Princeton Universities have all made significant strides in genomics, but Knowles said he did not embark on the move in response to pressures from other schools.
Instead, Knowles said he became concerned "about our success...in some areas in recruiting the most stellar faculty and the most talented graduate students and undergraduates."
