Avian flu modeled on supercomputer, explores vaccine and isolation options for thwarting a pandemic

Using supercomputers to respond to a potential national health emergency, scientists have developed a simulation model that makes stark predictions about the possible future course of an avian influenza pandemic, given today's environment of worldwide connectivity. The r...

Nano-particles effective in killing cancer with one-two punch of chemotherapeutics

...ancer cell's membranes and has been simulated with supercomputers by Michael F. Klein and Goundla Srinivas of Penn's Department of Chemistry. While cell membranes and liposomes (vesicles often used for drug-delivery) are created from a double layer of fatty molecules called phospholipids, a polymersome is comprised...

Supercomputer Dedicated To Bioengineering, Computational Biology Installed

...he drive to build ever faster and more specialized supercomputers has required computational biologists to continually reinvent their modeling software. "It's not new that science has been developing large computational challenges, but what is new is the commoditization of supercomputing," said McCulloch. "These co...
