How corona viruses have affected camel herding
Since camels often move between different regions, controlling diseases such as corona viruses calls for a transboundary approach.
Connectivity aids successful surgery to separate craniopagus twins
ICT shortened the distance across the Atlantic Ocean between Rio de Janeiro and London, allowing the exchange of information and surgery rehearsals in real time in a virtual environment.
Making cross-border cancer research collaboration safe and secure
SURF's Research Cloud makes cutting-edge collaborative cancer research faster, more cost-effective and more impactful.
Relief ahead for dry irritated eyes with help from supercomputing
Gazing into computer screens for hours contributes to millions of people suffering from dry eye syndrome. Backed by supercomputing, Finnish researchers suggest better eye drop treatment.
Enabling researchers to reuse sensitive biomedical data
CSC has recently developed new services for sensitive data management for research so that data from more patients can be shared and analysed to fast-track discoveries.
Supercomputing takes cancer research to a new level
While a variety of genetic factors are known to play major roles in relation to cancer, the specific pathways still largely remain to be discovered. This is the main scope of computational biology.
