Cambridge University spin-out Optalysys has been awarded a $350k grant for a 13-month project from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
Things are hotting up in the world of weather and climate forecasting thanks to today’s highly ambitious projects
Drug discovery is a complex process that requires increasing resources and time to generate new molecules. As the processes have matured there is an increasing reliance on computational methods to accelerate the discovery process.
Patients across the UK will benefit from better healthcare, treatments and faster diagnosis as the government sets out plans to deliver genomic healthcare
One of the most obvious, and immediate challenges when bringing new software into a lab environment is the likely ‘spaghetti soup’ of existing platforms – possibly from multiple vendors – that are already installed, suggests Richard Milne
