DOE, NIH and Biohub signed a memorandum of understanding. They will build an open biological data foundation for predictive models. DOE will invest $500 million over five years in cell research. Biohub will invest $500 million over five years in its Virtual Biology Initiative. The partnership uses DOE supercomputers, experimental facilities and autonomous labs. It also uses DOE biological data systems. The effort aligns with a presidential executive order. The goal is to predict how cells respond to interventions. They invite the global scientific community to join.
What changed
No unified open biological data foundation for predictive models of living systems existed.
