$100 M Supercomputer for Life Sciences Research
The goal of the initiative is for Victoria to retain its standing and enhance its leadership in world life sciences. This will lead to major improvements in public health outcomes in the areas such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurological disease, chronic inflammatory diseases, bone diseases and diabetes.
The initiative will involve:
• the establishment and operation of a Life Sciences Computation Centre (LSCC) to provide computational life science expertise to the institutions throughout the Parkville Precinct;
• the establishment and operation of a Peak Computing Facility (PCF) accessible to life sciences researchers from the Parkville Precinct, Monash University and other Victorian research institutes;
• collaborative research programs supporting the effective use of the PCF
• a skills development and training program to develop future computational life science expertise for research and industry; and
• an outreach program to highlight the benefits of the initiative to the public, industry and government.
