Computational biomedicine

CompBioMed is focussed on the use and development of computational methods for biomedical applications. The cutting edge of computational biomedicine harnesses computer simulations that are conducted on massively powerful supercomputers. The tremendous power of these machines allows larger and more complex biological systems to be simulated, yielding better, more accurate, and more meaningful output. SURF is one of the partners in this European project.
