A collaboration between the Victorian Life Sciences Computational Initiative (VLSCI) and the IBM Research Computational Biology Center will see a Blue Gene supercomputer installed at the University of Melbourne.The facility will bring together Melbourne's substantial community of life sciences and medical researchers and IBM's computational biology experts.
The Blue Gene/P supercomputer used for much of the collaboratory's work will be based at the University of Melbourne's main Parkville campus, said Victorian Premier John Brumby.
"The Victorian Life Sciences Computational Initiative will provide Victoria's researchers with the necessary tools to solve some of the biggest challenges facing our health system and impacting our quality of life," he said.
Specialist areas of research are expected to include medical imaging and neuroscience, clinical genomics, structural biology, and integrated systems biology.
