Atos establishes Life Sciences Centre of Excellence to support researchers worldwide

London, Uk Paris, France – July 8 2020

Atos, a world-wide chief in digital transformation, in settlement with the Wellcome Genome Campus, in Cambridgeshire, Uk, right now announces its world-wide HPC, AI & Quantum Lifestyle Sciences Centre of Excellence in order to present organisations on Campus, and world-wide genome and bio-knowledge institutes throughout the world, accessibility to rising HPC, AI & Quantum technologies.

The Atos Lifestyle Sciences Centre of Excellence will enhance the present Campus compute facilities with accessibility to main-edge technologies, this kind of as Quantum, Higher Effectiveness Computing and AI, supported by Atos’ products and solutions, expert services and know-how in these sectors. Atos industry experts will collaborate specifically with genome and biological knowledge analysis experts to assist strengthen Lifestyle Sciences discovery and innovation.

“I am delighted that Atos is signing up for our Campus community, delivering bigger insight into biodata at excellent speeds and efficacy will guide to innovative new methodologies and products and solutions, as properly as cutting down the analysis-to-product or service advancement journey generating a significant favourable affect for the numerous parts of everyday living sciences”, said Dr Julia Wilson, Affiliate Director, Wellcome Genome Campus.

 “With significant advancement programs in put Atos will speedily turn out to be a valuable partner within just our Campus community. Now is the time to power our analysis as a result of the utilized use of innovative engineering that could enormously advance biodata analysis. This will guide to bigger possibilities to translate analysis into tangible societal benefits”, included Dr Jo Mills, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre Manager, Wellcome Genome Campus.

In this Centre, researchers and technologists throughout the world will take a look at the distinct usages of technologies this kind of as Quantum, Higher Effectiveness Computing and AI as a result of a broad assortment of activities this kind of as proof of strategy production, innovation workshops, programs and conferences.

Atos Quantum Understanding Device, the world’s maximum-doing commercially available quantum simulator, is already aiding the analysis investigation capability of organizations which includes Bayer in Germany, the Centre of Computation  Research and Engineering (CCRT) at the CEA in France, The Hartree Centre in Uk and Oak Ridge Nationwide Laboratory in the US.

Scientists will also be able to benefit from Atos’ potent BullSequana X supercomputers, which produce higher-efficiency computing power to assist researchers attain effects more rapidly. They are becoming utilised right now across the world to assist the recent combat from Covid-19.

Pierre Barnabé, Senior Executive Vice-President, Head of Huge Facts & Cybersecurity at Atos, said: “We are delighted to establish the Centre, as the prospective for collaborative opportunity with Lifestyle Sciences institutes globally is great. Quantum, Higher Effectiveness Computing as properly as edge computing assisted by artificial intelligence hold remarkable, transformative prospective for the everyday living sciences sector, and we are searching forward to implementing these in actual entire world scenarios by combining analysis know-how with our technological know-how to unlock opportunity.”

The Centre is already operating remotely and is offering assist to researchers throughout the world finding out lots of distinct areas of Covid-19 this kind of as characterizing the framework of SARS-CoV-2 to far better recognize its mechanisms of an infection or modelling the unfold of the sickness by employing mathematical techniques.

Furthermore, two demos are becoming developed which unlock the price of HPC and AI to model cardiovascular anomalies and to speed up the interpretation of healthcare treatments. These will be showcased as before long as the Centre opens its doors.
