An IRB Barcelona project on computational biology receives an ERC Advanced Grant

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Modesto Orozco, researcher at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), an Advanced Grant within the category of Physical Sciences and Engineering, which received 917 applications from around Europe. This category commonly accounts for 45% of the total budget dedicated to Advanced Grants, which provide project funding typically in the range of between 2 and 3 million Euros over five years. These ERC grants have been operating since 2007 and aim to support internationally recognized scientists performing cutting-edge research in Europe. The projects awarded are characterized by having a strong multidisciplinary nature and innovative applications in emerging fields. Modesto Orozco, brief CV Dr. Modesto Orozco heads the Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics group…

Using systems biology to reveal the determinants of cell fate

The fusion of biology, mathematics and control engineering that characterizes systems biology is a daunting task, but the potential rewards for life science are similarly monumental Proliferation, differentiation or death? How is the fate of a cell determined? This system is a fundamental phenomenon in living organisms, but it has not yet been analyzed. Mariko Okada, team leader of the Laboratory for Cellular Systems Modeling at the RIKEN Research Center for Allergy and Immunology (RCAI), is working to analyze the fate-determining mechanisms in cells using systems biology, a new field of science in which experiments and theory are combined. She recently succeeded in revealing a molecular network that appears in cell differentiation processes and identified incoming information that triggers cell…

University of Birmingham Uses Adaptive Computing Technology to Reduce HPC Costs

Adaptive Computing announced that the University of Birmingham in Birmingham, England has selected Moab Adaptive HPC Suite as its intelligent automation software solution. Adaptive Computing’s innovative technology reduces air conditioning costs and input power for the Birmingham Environment for Academic Research (BlueBear). With Moab Adaptive HPC Suite, the annual cost savings on input power and air conditioning costs for BlueBear are estimated at 10% of the total power bill for running the cluster – totaling approximately £10,000 or $16,000 USD. Used for leading research in bioinformatics, cognitive neuroscience, cancer clinical trials and robotics, to name a few, demand on the BlueBear cluster is often unpredictable. The University required a dynamic and flexible system that could operate under high and low…
