The New York City-based Mount Sinai Health System has announced that it will be building a new supercomputer that will “mine deep databases of genomic and clinical information, with precision medicine in mind.”
Health system officials attested that its researchers will be able to explore more complex scientific questions more quickly once the organization builds its second “Big Omics Data Engine” (BODE 2) supercomputer, to be funded through a $2 million grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Through BODE 2, Mount Sinai said, its researchers will be able to use machine learning approaches to mine deep databases of genomic and clinical information, with precision medicine as the ultimate goal. “With BODE 2, we are...
