Services
Collaboration
The Chicago Biomedical Consortium includes a collaboration infrastructure as
one of the resources it provides to Chicagoland researchers. At each of the
ember campuses, there is an Access Grid node that provides technicians,
administrators, and researchers with the ability to communicate directly
with others at other sites.
The Access Grid is a collaboration
environment designed and built by Argonne National
Laboratories, Futures Laboratory. It
provides real-time audio, video, text, shared applications, and access to
third-party resources like computational clusters, data storage services, and
other things. For more information on the Access Grid, please email
ag-info@mcs.anl.gov.
The three primary Access Grid nodes that the CBC uses include:
Northwestern University
University of Chicago
University of Illinois at Chicago
Computational Resources
The Chicago Biomedical Consortium includes a computational infrastructure that is capable of providing researchers with simple access to standard tools for proteomics and genomics. The infrastructure includes three separate computational clusters configured as a computational grid. The clusters are housed at the member universities and are available to consortium members.
