Presentation Transcript

  1. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • SINGAPORE’S BIOMED GRID (BMG) • PRESENTATION TO PRAGMA • 11-12 MARCH • SAN DIEGO • Larry Ang – BioInformatics Institute • Larry@bii-sg.org

  2. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE’S • BIOMEDICAL INDUSTRY – A MATTER OF SURVIVAL • OVER-DEPENDENCE ON MANUFACTURING • ABUNDANCE OF IT EXPERTISE • STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF IPR • ENGLISH LANGUAGE – A GREAT ASSET TO SINGAPORE •  CANNOT FAIL

  3. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • GOALS: • CREATE A BIOMED R & D HUB

  4. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • Need to strongly support PRAGMA • Build strong community • Create linkages • Increase efficiency through international collaboration • Forge economy of scale – e.g. aggregation data traffic between Asia and USA.

  5. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • BII’S MISSION: • National research and training Institute within a collaborative,multi-disciplinary, inclusiveframework. • To develop expertise with broad and deep knowledge of biology and information technology, to advance biomedical R&D in Singapore.

  6. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • RESEARCH FOCUS • Computational Biology & Genomics • Systems Biology • Genetics • Medical Imaging • Theoretical & Mathematical Biology • Grid Computing

  7. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology POSTGRADUATE TEACHING • MSc in Bioinformatics (with NUS) starts Jul 02 • First batch - 30 scholarship students, GRID COMPUTING TRAINING PROGRAM • First batch of 60 graduates to be trained for one year ; SDSC sending 4 trainers for a one week . • Second batch of 60 - 2003

  8. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • KEY CHALLENGE: • integrate genomic and clinical data to advance biomedical R&D • BOTTOM LINE: • We want to advance biomedicine NOT computing per se!

  9. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • Demands in High Performance Computing:- • Tera-scale CPU requirements • Peta-scale data storage & management • Tera-scale data networking • Security • Bioinformatics Expertise!

  10. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • National Tissue Repository : • reliable databases and strong data confidentiality. • National Disease Registary : • Set up by MOH in collaboration with healthcare institutions and research institutes in Singapore. • Database on cardiac, diabetes, myopia, cancer, renal etc. disease for healthcare planningand a platform for epidemiological studies of prevalent diseases in this region, • When fully operational, will integrate all registries creating new opportunities for scientific and clinical R&D.

  18. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • BioMed Grid Task Force: • Set up for planning and coordinating implementation of IT infrastructure for the Biopolis and the BioMed Grid • Committeesinclude • HPC • Communications • Security • Software • User needs

  19. BioInformatics Institute Opening New Frontiers in Biology • BioMed Grid Test Beds: • Goal :To gain expertise and train manpower to meet future needs for biomedical R&D. • Linux Clusters in BII, NUS • Part of the new Consortium Called Gelato to push open source development on Linux clusters on the Grid environment. • (Gelato involves UIUC, Waterloo, BII, HP Labs, Tsing Hua, NSW…) •  • These nodes will serve as initial test beds for the BioMed Grid Project
