Summary
Recent advances in both human biology and micro-fabricated devices provide knowledge that will allow the development of technologies that directly and positively impact human health and quality of life. However, the sheer volume of the data involved as well as the combinatorics of evaluating potential engineered devices represents a huge hurdle to both scientific analysis and engineering progress. Parallel computation, properly applied, can help us to overcome these hurdles and develop meaningful, life-improving, devices and techniques more quickly than might otherwise be possible. This proposal will detail three computational biology projects that will have positive impact on public health and that will be enabled by parallel computation and OSC support through the Cluster Ohio Program.
