The Indiana Genomics Initiative
The revolution in life sciences research brought about by the sequencing of the human genome creates new challenges for scientists and new opportunities for computing support organizations.
The Indiana Genomics Initiative, funded in part by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, is a world-class biomedical research program built on the strengths of the IU School of Medicine, Departments of Biology and Chemistry, and University Information Technology Services.
As a result of the strategies developed to support life science research at IU, the use of advanced IT facilities by medical researchers has increased dramatically in recent years. IU Medical School researchers now use more CPU hours than researchers in fields such as physics, astronomy, and chemistry, which have traditionally and routinely incorporated supercomputing in their research activities.
