  • Computational Needs for a Personalized Medicine

    The research in biology and in biomedicine is now facing a new challenge, where the major bottle neck is at the computational level. Current approaches towards personalized medicine involve massive biological data production, mostly as DNA and RNA sequences of particular patient samples. Since the cost of genome sequencing is decreasing it is now becoming a standard practice in biomedicine resulting in the generation of massive amounts of biological data. The management and comprehensive analysis of all this data is still not yet solved and needs desperately computational solutions, both at hardware and at software level.
