$2 million computer will help unravel major medical ailments
Date:7/16/2008

is using computer models to predict how mutations in proteins can trigger the development of breast cancer. The new device should enable her to study this process in more complex and more detailed models, Winslow said.

The Johns Hopkins computer award was part of the $33.3 million in grants allocated for 2008 by the National Center for Research Resources to fund purchases of the latest generation of advanced research equipment.

"Innovative biomedical research requires frequent access to the newest and most advanced technology," said center director Barbara Alving. "High-performance equipment provides NIH-funded researchers with new discovery tools enabling a new generation of data and a new dimension of information. Tools such as these play key roles in the study of disease and the fundamental mechanisms of biological function, ultimately leading to new advances and treatments for diseases."
