Atos establishes Life Sciences Centre of Excellence to support researchers worldwide

London, British isles Paris, France – July eight 2020

Atos, a international chief in electronic transformation, in agreement with the Wellcome Genome Campus, in Cambridgeshire, British isles, nowadays announces its international HPC, AI & Quantum Life Sciences Centre of Excellence in order to supply organisations on Campus, and international genome and bio-details institutes around the globe, entry to emerging HPC, AI & Quantum technologies.

The Atos Life Sciences Centre of Excellence will enhance the existing Campus compute facilities with entry to primary-edge technologies, such as Quantum, Superior Effectiveness Computing and AI, supported by Atos’ goods, solutions and experience in these sectors. Atos experts will collaborate straight with genome and organic details investigation scientists to enable enhance Life Sciences discovery and innovation.

“I am delighted that Atos is becoming a member of our Campus community, delivering bigger perception into biodata at exceptional speeds and efficacy will direct to modern new methodologies and goods, as nicely as minimizing the investigation-to-product progress journey making a considerable favourable influence for the various areas of lifetime sciences”, claimed Dr Julia Wilson, Associate Director, Wellcome Genome Campus.

 “With considerable progress options in location Atos will rapidly turn out to be a beneficial companion within our Campus community. Now is the time to power our investigation by the used use of modern engineering that could greatly advance biodata investigation. This will direct to bigger possibilities to translate investigation into tangible societal benefits”, additional Dr Jo Mills, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre Manager, Wellcome Genome Campus.

In this Centre, researchers and technologists around the globe will examine the diverse usages of technologies such as Quantum, Superior Effectiveness Computing and AI by a broad array of pursuits such as proof of principle output, innovation workshops, courses and conferences.

Atos Quantum Studying Machine, the world’s best-carrying out commercially accessible quantum simulator, is already assisting the investigation assessment ability of companies which includes Bayer in Germany, the Centre of Computation  Research and Technology (CCRT) at the CEA in France, The Hartree Centre in British isles and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US.

Scientists will also be able to benefit from Atos’ effective BullSequana X supercomputers, which produce superior-overall performance computing power to support researchers accomplish final results faster. They are being utilised nowadays across the world to support the present-day combat versus Covid-19.

Pierre Barnabé, Senior Govt Vice-President, Head of Big Details & Cybersecurity at Atos, claimed: “We are delighted to establish the Centre, as the prospective for collaborative chance with Life Sciences institutes globally is monumental. Quantum, Superior Effectiveness Computing as nicely as edge computing assisted by artificial intelligence keep enjoyable, transformative prospective for the lifetime sciences sector, and we are seeking forward to implementing these in actual entire world situations by combining investigation experience with our technological experience to unlock chance.”

The Centre is already functioning remotely and is offering support to researchers around the globe studying lots of diverse factors of Covid-19 such as characterizing the structure of SARS-CoV-two to far better fully grasp its mechanisms of an infection or modelling the unfold of the sickness by utilizing mathematical strategies.

Additionally, two demos are being created which unlock the value of HPC and AI to design cardiovascular anomalies and to speed up the interpretation of medical processes. These will be showcased as soon as the Centre opens its doors.
