Robert Roe discovers that data integrity, process improvement, and managing data effectively are key challenges for informatics providers finding the speed to innovate, as the theme for the latest Paperless Lab Academy suggested
Jana Erjavec wonders why researchers are slow to adopt software for electronic laboratory notebooks
The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC), a research institute based in the UK, has dramatically reduced the time to perform large genome assembly with the installation of a new supercomputing platform based on two SGI UV 300 systems
IBM Research has announced it is making quantum computing available to members of the public, who can access and run experiments on IBMs quantum processor through the cloud
Zoe Cournia, a computational chemist and assistant professor level investigator at the Biomedical Research Foundation, Academy of Athens, has been selected as the recipient of the 1st PRACE Ada Lovelace Award for HPC
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)
Researchers at Purdue University are using cryo-electron microscopy and advanced computing to develop a detailed 3D image of the structure of the Zika virus
Statisticians, computer scientists and medical researchers for the UKs University of East Anglia are launching a project that uses 'big data to predict life expectancy
Certara, a provider of biosimulation technology, has announced that its regulatory and medical consultancy Synchrogenix has introduced an artificial intelligence enabled solution to meet the data transparency requirements of the clinical drug development market
A researcher based at University College London (UCL) has been awarded £100,000 to use complex computer modelling to map the start and spread of Parkinsons and Alzheimers disease
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
