Donating computer power to fight malaria

Help scientists tackle malaria by volunteering your...computer! CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is calling on people worldwide to donate some of the spare capacity on their home and business computers in order to run Malaria.net, a computer model for malaria epidemiology. The model aims to help improve the ability of researchers to predict, and hence control, the spread of malaria in Africa.

Helping robots cope with uncertainty

Mining biotech's data mother lode

A EU-sponsored project has developed a suite of tools that will enable biotech companies to mine through vast quantities of data created by modern life-science labs to find the nuggets of genetic gold that lie within.

The BioGrid project brought together six partners from the UK, Germany, Cyprus and The Netherlands to address one of the key problems facing the life sciences today.
