In the Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, “Strategic Programs for Innovative Research Field 1 Human Resources Fostering Program” is being implemented. The program consists of a wide range of activities, from training for novices in bioinformatics, to cultivation of human resources who can make full use of the supercomputer, “K computer”, by providing seminars, workshops, tutorial training, and e-learning to the public, and by combining computational science with life science in a sophisticated way. The details of activities for FY 2013 will be announced on the website (http://hpci.cbrc.jp) as soon as they are decided.

The Development and Use of the Next- Generation Supercomputer Project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Scienceand Technology (MEXT).

Next-Generation Integrated Simulation of Living Matter

ロゴ

The “Next-Generation Integrated Simulation of Living Matter” is a project sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology(MEXT), in which research and development of simulation software to understand various phenomena occurring in the biological systems, including molecules and the human body, have been undertaken to realize a petascale simulation by making full use of the performance of supercomputer “K computer”.

Strategic Programs for Innovative Research Field 1

Supercomputational Life Science

ロゴ

SPIRE (Strategic Programs for Innovative Research) is a MEXT program aiming to produce ground-breaking results in computer science technology by maximizing the benefits of the HPCI (High Performance Computing Infrastructure) centered on the supercomputer “K computer”, and encouraging developments in five research fields that need to be strategically addressed.
"Supercomputational Life Science" has conducted research with the mission of understanding and predicting life phenomena based on large-scale simulation and advanced data analysis, and to apply these results to design and implement medicine and medical care with its research.
