Life Sciences Center of Excellence

Explore, discover, co-create a healthier world

Located at the Wellcome Genome Campus, home to some of the world’s foremost institutes and organizations in genomics and computational biology, the Atos Life Sciences Center of Excellence brings leading edge technologies closer to research projects with the goal of discovering fresh, innovative solutions that will have a positive impact in society.

For researchers and technologists worldwide, the center is a unique opportunity to explore the power of advanced computing technologies such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and quantum simulation.

Processing and analyzing genomics data for the early diagnosis of cancer, biological and chemical process simulation that will shorten the pathway to market of new drugs, implementing computer vision techniques to increase efficiency in healthcare are just a few examples of how this Center of Excellence will bridge the gap between our technologies and our research partners.

Atos, University College London and Arm join forces to harness the power of cloud and digital for better healthcare

Explore

With data growing exponentially and becoming more difficult to process for life sciences applications, scientists rely on high-performance computing to quickly process and analyse massive amounts of data.

So, Atos, UCL and Arm team up to explore how they can offer wider cloud computing possibilities for life sciences applications.

Discover

The Arm Neoverse-based platform, the Ampere Altra, is dedicated to cloud native workloads, meaning the simulation and the results can be achieved not only on-premises but directly on the cloud, on any type of HPC platforms and from anywhere.

As more and more laboratories are using Arm-based solutions, this project would mean that they will now be able to run applications on their systems, enabling them to easily create workflows that could detect for example mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, in order to ultimately help combat COVID-19.
