EECS researchers are searching for the causes of cancer and Autism, among numerous other projects supported by the high performance computing facility. The Bioinformatics Computing Facility is undergoing a major renovation that will increase computing power by 20 fold.
EECS researchers examine fundamental problems in biology and how principles and technologies of computing can be applied to life sciences. They advance computational methods and tools for applications in biological, biochemical, and medical fields. Interdisciplinary research in biosciences at KU includes modeling, analysis, data management, and algorithm optimization.
