Research Centers and Labs
Cloud Computing Cluster Controls Laboratory
The Cloud Computing Cluster (CCC) develops and implements open-source technologies to support reliable scalable distributed computing in non-relational data environments for science and business.
Bioinformatics Unit (BIU)
BIU develops comprehensive biomedical instruments and computation tools to assist biomedical researchers to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments on a dramatically accelerated pace. BIU utilizes cloud computing and Apache Map-Reduce frameworks to process unlimited amounts of scattered data via parallel computing on large clusters of computations nodes. Projects include:
- Hadoop Cloud
- Algorithms for Cloud
- Human Genome Book
Advanced Molecular Biotechnology Unit (MBU)
Research activities at MBU include the study of DNA-protein interactions:
- Computational Cytotoxicity
- Zinc Finger Recognition Code
- Computational Cytotoxicity for Sickle Cell Anemia
- Target Finger Modification (TFM)
Antimicrobial Laboratory (AML)
AML is dedicated to identify, develop and disseminate highly efficient and safe antimicrobial and antiseptic substances and materials for widespread use in affordable products to prevent and inhibit microbial contamination in food, water, healthcare and every day products. AML’s vision is to build a broad range of products and solutions to raise the hygienic standard of the world population and to serve a variety of industries, including medical device makers, healthcare providers, consumer products and building materials manufacturers.
Business Intelligence Institute (BII)
At BII, we analyze business processes and develop technology based solutions utilizing cloud computing.
