24722 BIOTITAN

Transfer of Bioinformatics into European Industry

Keywords: HPCN, TTN, Bioinformatics

Industrial Applications: Animal Breeding, Visualisation of large Databases

The objective of the BIOTITAN TTN is to stimulate the uptake of HPCN by the biotechnology, biomedical, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries in Europe. This is accomplished through PST activities coordinated with all members of the HPCN TTN Network.

BIOTITAN is comprised of three partners: the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI, coordinating partner), the Danish Computing Centre for Research and Education (UNI-C)and the Consortium for Supercomputing Applications for University and Research (CASPUR). The BIOTITAN partners bring together resources and expertise in bioinformatics, molecular biology, computational chemistry, parallel and high performance computing, industrial computer applications, network infrastructure and computer support services. BIOTITAN’s mission is to apply this advanced HPCN technology to the benefit of commercial end-users in the target industrial sectors, making them more competitive in the global market.
