Enabling researchers to reuse sensitive biomedical data
CSC has recently developed new services for sensitive data management for research so that data from more patients can be shared and analysed to fast-track discoveries.
Supercomputing takes cancer research to a new level
While a variety of genetic factors are known to play major roles in relation to cancer, the specific pathways still largely remain to be discovered. This is the main scope of computational biology.

Gold-containing particles target cancer
Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have shown that gold nanoclusters are well suited for delivery of drugs specifically to cancer cells.
Digital assistance for Brazil’s COVID vaccinations
Severely hit by the global pandemic, passing 250,000 deaths in February 2021, and combating new virus variants, Brazil is urgently pursuing vaccinations.
Computing for a sustainable world
High performance computing in Denmark plays a crucial role in finding solutions to the challenges of the future, such as eliminating poverty and hunger, protecting our climate, reducing inequalities, promoting education and health, and sustainable economic growth
Large genome project tackles pandemic
COVID-19 has been added to the list of health threats addressed in the 1+Million Genomes Initiative (B1MG), a joint effort by 23 European countries.
The Human Brain Project: navigating brain networks
Building a research infrastructure to harness multiple disciplines and computing, to help advance neuroscience, medicine and computing to the benefit of society.
Deep learning in cancer treatment: the algorithm that learns how to make us feel better
It is difficult to predict the course of a disease without knowing its past. For this reason, data analysis is taking on an increasingly crucial role.
Enabling remote surgery and training in Uganda
New York's Mount Sinai Health System extends its surgical knowledge and care to places where it is most needed and likely to have an impact.
