$18 million bioinformatics center to become weapon against deadly diseases |
|
A computer database designed to help biomedical
scientists identify and exploit the weak spots in scores of deadly
microorganisms will be established with an $18 million contract from the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National
Institutes of Health.
Overseeing the effort will be the Computation Institute, a joint effort between
the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory, and the Fellowship
for Interpretation of Genomes, a non-profit organization specializing in
bioinformatics tool development and comparative genomics research.
