Our employee-led philanthropic arm is awarding $400,000 in grants to two teams of researchers who are using innovative computing methods to turn old ideas about cancer research inside out. Each group will receive $200,000 from the NVIDIA Foundation for its work in using Big Data to collect, analyze and distribute ever larger quantities of information in ways that are reshaping their investigative fields.
nvidiafoundationOne team, led by John Quackenbush, professor of biostatistics and computational biology at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, is crunching genomic data obtained from thousands of cancer patients to uncover genomic patterns that could lead to new cancer treatments. The other, led by Vijay Pande, professor of chemistry, structural biology and computer science at Stanford University, has invited people to contribute their unused home-computing power to aid in the team’s search for new breast cancer treatments.
