The Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D. Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is a powerhouse of fundamental and translational research tackling the most pressing health care and biotechnology challenges facing humanity.

Houses the main chemistry department office, most chemistry research laboratories, the chemistry instrumentation facility, and facilities for upper-level lab courses.

Historical building constructed in about 1907, it was fully remodeled in the mid 1990s as a state-of-the-art facility for teaching laboratory courses. 

A key feature of RPI’s Central for Computational Innovations (CCI) is the Artificial Intelligence Multiprocessing Optimized System, or AiMOS, an eight petaflop IBM POWER9-equipped supercomputer configured to enable users to explore new AI applications.

Rensselaer became the first university in the world to house an IBM Quantum System One. The IBM quantum computer will serve as the foundation of a new IBM Quantum Computational Center in partnership with Rensselaer.
