Comments
High performance computing has many possible areas of application in life sciences. Currently, I am interested in1) identifying peptides from high-throughput tandem MS data,
2) high performance searching methodologies for basic sequence alignment of genomic and proteomic data,
3) developing models for cell signalling pathways,
4) high performance integrative modeling of physiological systems from genomic data to tissues and beyond and
5) fault-tolerant high performance programming methodologies for scientific computing requiring thousands of processors or more.
