Atos establishes Life Sciences Centre of Excellence to support researchers worldwide
London, British isles Paris, France – July 8 2020
Atos, a global chief in digital transformation, in arrangement with the Wellcome Genome Campus, in Cambridgeshire, British isles, now announces its global HPC, AI & Quantum Life Sciences Centre of Excellence in order to deliver organisations on Campus, and global genome and bio-data institutes around the world, obtain to emerging HPC, AI & Quantum technologies.
The Atos Life Sciences Centre of Excellence will enhance the present Campus compute facilities with obtain to leading-edge technologies, such as Quantum, Significant Efficiency Computing and AI, supported by Atos’ goods, providers and experience in these sectors. Atos gurus will collaborate straight with genome and biological data investigation researchers to support increase Life Sciences discovery and innovation.
“I am delighted that Atos is signing up for our Campus group, delivering increased perception into biodata at superior speeds and efficacy will lead to revolutionary new methodologies and goods, as very well as lessening the investigation-to-solution growth journey producing a major optimistic affect for the several regions of existence sciences”, reported Dr Julia Wilson, Associate Director, Wellcome Genome Campus.
“With major growth programs in put Atos will speedily grow to be a valuable spouse inside of our Campus group. Now is the time to power our investigation by the utilized use of revolutionary technologies that could considerably progress biodata investigation. This will lead to increased chances to translate investigation into tangible societal benefits”, extra Dr Jo Mills, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre Supervisor, Wellcome Genome Campus.
In this Centre, researchers and technologists around the world will check out the unique usages of technologies such as Quantum, Significant Efficiency Computing and AI by a broad range of functions such as evidence of concept manufacturing, innovation workshops, programs and conferences.
Atos Quantum Discovering Device, the world’s optimum-performing commercially readily available quantum simulator, is by now aiding the investigation evaluation capability of corporations including Bayer in Germany, the Centre of Computation Research and Know-how (CCRT) at the CEA in France, The Hartree Centre in British isles and Oak Ridge Countrywide Laboratory in the US.
Scientists will also be ready to benefit from Atos’ powerful BullSequana X supercomputers, which produce high-general performance computing power to guidance researchers reach success more rapidly. They are remaining employed now throughout the globe to guidance the recent battle versus Covid-19.
Pierre Barnabé, Senior Government Vice-President, Head of Big Data & Cybersecurity at Atos, reported: “We are delighted to establish the Centre, as the prospective for collaborative option with Life Sciences institutes globally is great. Quantum, Significant Efficiency Computing as very well as edge computing assisted by synthetic intelligence maintain interesting, transformative prospective for the existence sciences sector, and we are looking forward to implementing these in real earth situations by combining investigation experience with our technological experience to unlock option.”
The Centre is by now running remotely and is giving guidance to researchers around the world finding out many unique facets of Covid-19 such as characterizing the structure of SARS-CoV-two to greater understand its mechanisms of an infection or modelling the distribute of the disorder by utilizing mathematical procedures.
Additionally, two demos are remaining created which unlock the price of HPC and AI to product cardiovascular anomalies and to speed up the interpretation of health care methods. These will be showcased as shortly as the Centre opens its doorways.
