IBM Research Defined

IBM Research is a $5 Billion IBM funded agency with over 3200 scientists and technologist actively performing research in 8 IBM Research labs and over 100 IBM Development Labs around the globe in collaboration with research partners to solve real world problems .

IBM researchers have been recognised with five Nobel laureates, seven U.S. National Medals of Technology, five National Medals of Science and 21 memberships in the National Academy of Sciences

IBM Research Strategy Refined

IBM/ Saudi Arabia Nanotechnology Collaboratory Launched on 26 February 2008

The two sides plan to develop technologies for solar energy and water desalinization. The Saudis chose IBM because of its expertise. IBM scientists won a Nobel Prize in 1986 for nanotech breakthroughs, and they're leaders in developing new nanotech materials. "We want to work with the best in the field," says Turki Saud Al-Saud, vice-president for Research Institutes in King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology.

Big Blue Goes for the Big WinIBM's director of R&D is shifting the tech giant's focus—and making a

few enormous bets

The other major change Kelly has in the works is overhauling the way IBM does research. Today the tech giant has eight research facilities with 3,200

scientists, and it hasn't opened a new one in a decade. Kelly foresees creating dozens of new joint ventures for research, which he calls "collaboratories,"

with countries, companies, and independent research outfits.

"Great ideas are springing up everywhere, and we need to shift from focusing on large brick-and-mortar operations to having a much more collaborative outreach program."

Life Sciences (Solving the Problem)

Project Checkmate seeks to model mutations and interactions between avian flu and human influenza to determine strains that could cause an epidemic:

• Before the epidemic occurs.• In time to produce vaccine to avoid the epidemic.

Project Checkmate is a collaboration between IBM Research and the Scripps Institute.

IBM Deep Computing


The first objective of the Blue Brain is to create a cellular level, software replica of the Neocortical Column for real-time simulations.

Blue Brain will search for:• New insights into how human beings think and

remember.• How specific defects in our circuitry may contribute to

autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's.

With Blue Brain, research that used to require several years of lab work can be done in a matter of days or minutes – using Blue Gene.

A project of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
