Sixth Workshop on HPC Applications of Precision Medicine

High-performance computing has become central to the future success of precision medicine, encompassing cloud-based systems, large scale HPC, and edge computing devices. The dramatic increase in the volume of data available through medical records, imaging, sequencing, biometric sensors, and mobile health devices, has also opened promising new frontiers for AI in biomedicine including the use of predictive models, and developing the frontier of patient specific digital twins. Across the world, HPC is shaping the future for medicine, from cancer to infectious diseases, to drug discovery, to digital twins, to critical decisions in hospital intensive care units. Many programs and initiatives have developed globally across Europe, Asia and North America to advance the use of AI and HPC in medicine including CompBioMed (EU and UK), the NIH BridgeToAI (US) and the PerMedCOE (Europe). The workshop brings together the exciting cross-disciplinary community to improve health through better care, treatments, and wellness from drug discovery to treatment monitoring to digital twins. The special theme for 2023 workshop is “Making HPC and Modeling Operational for Biomedical Research and Clinical Applications” and promises to be insightful for all, sharing and discussing strategies to successfully deliver ongoing capabilities to advance medicine through the application of HPC.
