Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences
The Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (iQBS) was established in July of 2010 to develop, advance, and support interdisciplinary education, research, and infrastructure in the quantitative biomedical sciences, including bioengineering, bioinformatics, biophysics, biostatistics, computational biology, epidemiology, mathematical biology and related areas. As a partner to SYNERGY, iQBS will focus on important problems at the interface between informatics and clinical and translational sciences.
iQBS components supporting SYNERGY research through iQBS include:
- The Bioinformatics Shared Resource provides bioinformatics support and services to biomedical researchers in the Dartmouth community.
- DISCOVERY, the Dartmouth Initiative for SuperComputing Ventures in Education and Research, provides shared high-performance computing services with more than 1000 processors.
- eagle-I consortium Groundbreaking biomedical research requires access to cutting edge scientific resources, resources that in many cases are invisible beyond the laboratories or institutions where they were developed. The eagle-i Consortium, made up of nine member institutions, is conducting an experiment. Over the next two years, it will build a prototype of a national research resource discovery network – one that will help biomedical scientists search for and find previously invisible, but highly valuable, resources
