Janelia Research Campus is a research campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute that opened in October 2006. The campus is located in Loudoun County, Virginia, near the town of Ashburn. It is known for its scientific research and modern architecture. The Executive Director of the laboratory is the biologist Gerald M. Rubin, who is also vice-president of HHMI. The campus was known as "Janelia Farm Research Campus" until the name changed to "Janelia Research Campus" in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 ==Research== For many years, the main way HHMI conducted research was through supporting investigators who worked at their home institution. This is still the majority of HHMI research, with (as of 2011) more than 330 investigators at 70 institutions. However, there are interdisciplinary problems that are difficult to address in existing research settings, and Janelia was built to address one of these problems, neurobiology. As of November 2011, the facility has 424 employees and room for 150 more. The campus focuses on interdisciplinary research in this area, specifically addressing: *The identification of general principles that govern how information is processed by neuronal circuits. *The development of imaging technologies and computational methods for image analysis. In addition to and in cooperation with the individual investigators, there are three large scale interdisciplinary projects at Janelia:〔 *High-throughput characterizing of the behavioral phenotypes on genetically defined small neural lesions in ''Drosophila''. *Two projects aimed at developing both large-scale neuroanatomical data for ''Drosophila'' (at the light and electron microscopy levels) as well as accelerating the technology so that even larger anatomical projects can be approached in the future. Janelia was designed to emulate the unconstrained and collaborative environments at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Cambridge's Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Researchers are on six-year contracts and fully internally funded, independent of traditional research grant funding. Gerald M. Rubin is the first director of Janelia, and saw it from concept through construction to operation.
