IBM-KAIST Bio-Computing Research Center Since Dec. 2004
		IBM-KAIST Bio-Computing Center has been launched in December 2004 to leverage active research activities using IBM supercomputers (roughly equal to 5 million US$) donated by IBM as a prize of SUR(Shared University Research) Award in May, 2002. It aims to investigate fundamental bio-computing technologies utilizing bio-principles and bio-mechanisms, and develop system technologies for bio-information processing. Researchers from various departments in KAIST including Bio and Brain Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Physics, and Biological Science as well as IBM Life Sciences are collaborating on several projects including bio-encyclopedia, bio-data mining, protein structure analysis, and metabolic pathway analysis.
