Its goal is to map the complex network of signalling reactions which cells use as an internal messaging system, and then feed this information into other computational models.

But the long-term aim is to construct computational models of specific diseases based on the data being monitored, says Mark Spire, who is the president of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners and a member of the Kansas State team.

"The order-of-magnitude increase in computational power available with Titan will allow us to investigate even more realistic models with better accuracy" noted ORNL researcher and WL-LSMS developer Markus Eisenbach.
