Biology, Pharma and Chemistry

Compute-intensive applications play a large role in research and development for the biology, pharma and chemistry sector. In particular, such studies are of interest in bioinformatics, molecular modeling and computational chemistry.

With our products and services we have shown that cloud computing can be successfully applied in these fields. For this, CloudBroker has collaborated in several projects and helped to port a number of different applications from these domains to the cloud, some of which are given below.

Projects

• SCI-BUS EU project for science gateways
• Protein modeling in the cloud with ETH Zurich and IBM
• … and others

Applications

• Rosetta for computational modeling and analysis of protein structures
• BLAST for finding regions of similarity between biological sequences
• AutoDock for automated ligand-receptor docking
• Gromacs for molecular dynamics simulations
• NWChem for high-performance computational chemistry
• … and others
