The Chemical Informatics and Cyberinfrastructure Collaboratory (CICC) at Indiana University
Combining grid computing with cheminformatics:
an NIH-funded project
The Chemical Informatics and Cyberinfrastructure Collaboratory (CICC) uses modern Grid technology to allow convenient integration of distributed chemistry tools, simulations, documents and databases among themselves and with similar biological resources. We utilize open web service infrastructure and develop innovative interfaces, applications and databases that will be fully integrated with data from the NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative and PubChem. Through an effective education program, new cheminformatics techniques that will significantly enhance research productivity and effectiveness will be introduced to academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and other research institutions. The CICC will make it possible for life scientists and chemists to easily integrate cheminformatics tools/databases and grid technology into their research and teaching.
CICC supports the NIH mission by combining state-of-the-art chemical informatics techiques with:
- World class high performance computing at IU
- National-scale computing resources (TeraGrid)
- Internet standard Web services
- International activities for service orchestration
- Open distributed computing infrastructure for scientists world wide
