Mount Sinai Builds Supercomputer for Precision Medicine, Genomics

Mount Sinai Health System has received a $2 million grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services to develop a precision medicine and genomics supercomputer. The second “big omics data engine” (BODE 2) will enable Mount Sinai researchers to explore complex scientific questions more quickly and accelerate new solutions for a wide range of medical disorders. Supercomputers have become essential in biomedical scientific discovery, and Mount Sinai has been a leader on this front, making investments in computational and data science that are advancing our understanding of and ability to treat complex diseases,” said Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and President for Academic Affairs, Mount Sinai Health System.
