The healing power of Big Data
The University of Michigan Health system serves 2.1 million patients a year, generating a tremendous amount of data that can reveal hidden trends and health patterns. With the university’s computational resources, we can model tissue structure and function from the molecular to the whole-organ scale to better understand things like the flow of ions in cells, blood in arteries, and air in the lungs.
Michigan’s Advanced Research Computing — Technology Services external link provides U-M researchers with advanced computing resources, including:
- A shared computing cluster, Flux, with more than 16,000 cores
- A Hadoop cluster for data-science research
- Cloud computing services
