Atos establishes Life Sciences Centre of Excellence to support researchers worldwide

London, British isles Paris, France – July eight 2020

Atos, a international leader in digital transformation, in arrangement with the Wellcome Genome Campus, in Cambridgeshire, British isles, today announces its international HPC, AI & Quantum Lifestyle Sciences Centre of Excellence in get to deliver organisations on Campus, and international genome and bio-details institutes around the world, access to emerging HPC, AI & Quantum systems.

The Atos Lifestyle Sciences Centre of Excellence will complement the present Campus compute facilities with access to major-edge systems, this sort of as Quantum, Higher Effectiveness Computing and AI, supported by Atos’ products and solutions, products and services and know-how in these sectors. Atos gurus will collaborate straight with genome and biological details research scientists to support enhance Lifestyle Sciences discovery and innovation.

“I am delighted that Atos is joining our Campus community, providing higher insight into biodata at superior speeds and efficacy will guide to ground breaking new methodologies and products and solutions, as well as reducing the research-to-solution improvement journey developing a significant beneficial impression for the several regions of lifetime sciences”, reported Dr Julia Wilson, Affiliate Director, Wellcome Genome Campus.

 “With significant improvement ideas in position Atos will speedily turn out to be a important associate within our Campus community. Now is the time to energy our research through the utilized use of ground breaking know-how that could enormously advance biodata research. This will guide to higher alternatives to translate research into tangible societal benefits”, additional Dr Jo Mills, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre Supervisor, Wellcome Genome Campus.

In this Centre, researchers and technologists around the world will explore the different usages of systems this sort of as Quantum, Higher Effectiveness Computing and AI through a broad variety of pursuits this sort of as evidence of principle creation, innovation workshops, programs and conferences.

Atos Quantum Discovering Machine, the world’s best-carrying out commercially out there quantum simulator, is currently assisting the research examination capability of businesses like Bayer in Germany, the Centre of Computation  Research and Technological innovation (CCRT) at the CEA in France, The Hartree Centre in British isles and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US.

Researchers will also be ready to benefit from Atos’ highly effective BullSequana X supercomputers, which provide high-functionality computing energy to aid researchers achieve final results faster. They are currently being made use of today throughout the world to aid the latest combat against Covid-19.

Pierre Barnabé, Senior Govt Vice-President, Head of Big Information & Cybersecurity at Atos, reported: “We are delighted to set up the Centre, as the potential for collaborative chance with Lifestyle Sciences institutes globally is monumental. Quantum, Higher Effectiveness Computing as well as edge computing assisted by artificial intelligence keep enjoyable, transformative potential for the lifetime sciences sector, and we are on the lookout ahead to applying these in real environment eventualities by combining research know-how with our technological know-how to unlock chance.”

The Centre is currently running remotely and is offering aid to researchers around the world learning lots of different areas of Covid-19 this sort of as characterizing the composition of SARS-CoV-2 to greater realize its mechanisms of an infection or modelling the distribute of the condition by employing mathematical strategies.

Moreover, two demos are currently being created which unlock the worth of HPC and AI to design cardiovascular anomalies and to speed up the interpretation of clinical procedures. These will be showcased as shortly as the Centre opens its doorways.
