The mission of the National Biomedical Computation Resource is to conduct, catalyze, and enable biomedical research by harnessing, developing, and deploying forefront computational, information and grid technologies. To fulfill this mission, NBCR efforts are focused in four key activies:
  • Integrate computational, data and visualization resources in a transparent, advanced grid environment to enable better access to distributed data, computational resources, instruments and people.
  • Develop and deploy advanced computational tools for modeling and simulation, data analysis, query and integration, three-dimensional image processing, and interactive visualization.
  • Deliver and support advanced grid/Cyber-infrastructure for biomedical researchers.
  • Train a cadre of new researchers such that they have an interdisciplinary, working knowledge both of experimental biology and of computational technology relevant to biomedical scientists.

This Resource is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through a National Center for Research Resources program grant (P 41 RR08605) to researchers at the University of California, San Diego, including the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), The Center for Research in Biological Systems (CRBS), The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), and Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL).
