Biology
- New York University Courant Bioinformatics Group
- Tools for the manipulation and analysis of DNA sequence data, for use in an environment for the planning, running and reporting of biological experiments.
- Children's Hospital Informatics Program
- Several web-based and stand-alone programs for bioinformatics, most of which are written in Common Lisp.
- Center for Computational Pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine
- We invent tools and provide services (web-based and other) for the analysis and interpretation of high throughput molecular biology data, expecially gene expression arrays and mass spec proteomics. Most of our tools are written in Common Lisp. We have what we consider to be the world's best lisp hardware environment, a 16 processor IBM p690 with 64GB (yes, GB) of RAM, running a 64 bit version of Franz's Allegro Common Lisp. There is more common lisp bioinformatics work done by our collaborators in Dr. Shah's lab

Defense
- U.S. Army Research Laboratory
- Lisp is used at the Human Research and Engineering Directorate. In April 2003 there were job opportunities for Lisp programmers.
High-Performance Computing
- Los Alamos National Laboratory, Cluster Research Group
- Cluster monitoring system (Supermon) uses data representation and wire-protocol based on LISP S-Expressions.
Physics and Astronomy
- CERN
- The CERN Common Lisp Users Group facilitates and promotes the use of Common Lisp at CERN.
