Atos establishes Life Sciences Centre of Excellence to support researchers worldwide
London, United kingdom Paris, France – July 8 2020
Atos, a international chief in digital transformation, in settlement with the Wellcome Genome Campus, in Cambridgeshire, United kingdom, currently announces its international HPC, AI & Quantum Daily life Sciences Centre of Excellence in get to present organisations on Campus, and international genome and bio-information institutes all over the world, accessibility to emerging HPC, AI & Quantum technologies.
The Atos Daily life Sciences Centre of Excellence will enhance the present Campus compute facilities with accessibility to major-edge technologies, such as Quantum, Significant Effectiveness Computing and AI, supported by Atos’ solutions, providers and knowledge in these sectors. Atos experts will collaborate specifically with genome and organic information analysis researchers to aid raise Daily life Sciences discovery and innovation.
“I am delighted that Atos is becoming a member of our Campus community, providing increased insight into biodata at excellent speeds and efficacy will direct to progressive new methodologies and solutions, as properly as decreasing the analysis-to-products growth journey creating a sizeable constructive impression for the many areas of lifetime sciences”, explained Dr Julia Wilson, Associate Director, Wellcome Genome Campus.
“With sizeable growth options in spot Atos will promptly develop into a beneficial companion in our Campus community. Now is the time to power our analysis by way of the applied use of progressive technology that could considerably advance biodata analysis. This will direct to increased chances to translate analysis into tangible societal benefits”, added Dr Jo Mills, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre Manager, Wellcome Genome Campus.
In this Centre, researchers and technologists all over the world will take a look at the distinct usages of technologies such as Quantum, Significant Effectiveness Computing and AI by way of a broad variety of things to do such as evidence of strategy production, innovation workshops, classes and conferences.
Atos Quantum Studying Machine, the world’s greatest-performing commercially readily available quantum simulator, is currently assisting the analysis examination functionality of companies which includes Bayer in Germany, the Centre of Computation Research and Know-how (CCRT) at the CEA in France, The Hartree Centre in United kingdom and Oak Ridge Countrywide Laboratory in the US.
Scientists will also be equipped to benefit from Atos’ effective BullSequana X supercomputers, which produce higher-performance computing power to assistance researchers achieve effects faster. They are remaining applied currently across the globe to assistance the recent fight against Covid-19.
Pierre Barnabé, Senior Govt Vice-President, Head of Huge Data & Cybersecurity at Atos, explained: “We are delighted to establish the Centre, as the possible for collaborative prospect with Daily life Sciences institutes globally is tremendous. Quantum, Significant Effectiveness Computing as properly as edge computing assisted by synthetic intelligence keep interesting, transformative possible for the lifetime sciences sector, and we are hunting forward to making use of these in actual world eventualities by combining analysis knowledge with our technological knowledge to unlock prospect.”
The Centre is currently operating remotely and is delivering assistance to researchers all over the world learning many distinct features of Covid-19 such as characterizing the framework of SARS-CoV-2 to better understand its mechanisms of infection or modelling the unfold of the illness by working with mathematical strategies.
Also, two demos are remaining developed which unlock the benefit of HPC and AI to product cardiovascular anomalies and to speed up the interpretation of health-related treatments. These will be showcased as soon as the Centre opens its doorways.
