San Jose, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2015 While deep learning will be the topic of many conversation at next weeks 2015 GPU technology conference, one startup will talk passionately about using high-performance NVIDIA GPU technology to fight cancer, age-related diseases and aging itself. Insilico Medicine, a bioinformatics company located at the campus of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, is one of 12 most promising technology companies selected out of the initial pool of over 150 contestants to compete in the finals of high-tech company competition at one of the though-after events in Silicon Valley, NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference. Insilico Medicine will be exhibiting at the conference from 17th to 20th of March and will present its technology to a broad audience and a panel of high-profile judges on March 18th. "We live in a very exciting time when information technology is converging with biotechnology blurring the boundaries, lowering barriers to entry for smaller players and creating opportunities for data wizards and machine learning experts to make a real tangible difference in human health. Insilico Medicine developed a bioinformatics platform and strategy to tackle humanity's greatest challenge - aging and age-related diseases and we are thankful to NVIDIA for this … Continue reading →

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has appointed SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics as the FAO Reference Centre for bioinformatics. SIB's expertise together with its state-of-the-art scientific services led to the choice of the Institute. The Federal Councillor Johann Schneider-Ammann, in charge of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research, is delighted with this nomination that he says "honours Switzerland". SIB is collaborating with FAO on the screening, monitoring and follow-up of zoonotic diseases (or zoonoses), which are animal infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans, such as avian influenza, and also on animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease. Achieving food security and safety for all is at the heart of FAO's fight against hunger and poverty. Hence the organization supports countries in their efforts to detect and monitor zoonotic diseases as important factors in the food chain. In the case of transboundary disease emergencies, FAO works with countries to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and capacities to respond rapidly and efficiently. The bioinformatics tools developed at SIB in partnership with FAO have made it possible to improve the early detection and fast alert system, by combining epidemiological and genetic information related … Continue reading →
