Silicon Mechanics Delivers 10x HPC Run Time Boost for Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation
January 30, 2023 by
[SPONSORED CONTENT] In biomedical research it’s accelerate or perish. Drug discovery is a trial-and-error process driven by simulations – faster simulations, enabled by compute- and data-intensive technologies, mean more runs in less time, resulting in errors identified and solutions achieved. Established in 1946, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation is a nonprofit research institute with more than 450 staff and over 50 labs studying cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disorders and aging-related diseases. OMRF discoveries led to the first, U.S.-approved therapy targeting sickle cell disease and the first approved treatment for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, an autoimmune disease. The foundation’s research is enabled in part by advanced technology – accelerated clusters and high-performance data storage that support workloads fueled by massive data sets.

Schrödinger Taps Google Cloud HPC Solution to Bolster Drug Discovery
March 13, 2020 by
Schrödinger has entered into a three-year agreement with Google Cloud to substantially increase the speed and capacity of its physics-based computational platform for drug discovery. “We’re excited to harness Google Cloud’s highly scalable system to run extensive free energy calculations to assess binding affinities through our compute-intensive FEP+ application. This partnership also enables us to further leverage BigQuery to analyze important molecular properties nearly instantaneously,” said Shane Brauner, Schrödinger’s Chief Information Officer. “This partnership is expected to allow us to expand the use of our physics-based computational platform to continue to rapidly explore very large swaths of chemical space.”
Single-Cell Sequencing for Drug Discovery: Applications and Challenges
January 2, 2020 by
Sarah Middleton from GSK gave this talk at DOE CSGF 2019. “Advances in techniques for single-cell RNA sequencing have made it possible to profile gene expression in individual cells on a large scale, opening up the possibility to explore the heterogeneity of expression within and across cell types. This exciting technology is now being applied to almost every tissue in the human body, with some experiments generating expression profiles for more than 100,000 cells at a time.”
