Morgridge Institute Stem Cell Group’s Victor Ruotti Wins Cycle Computing Challenge
Victor Ruotti, a computational biologist on the regenerative biology team at the Morgridge Institute for Research, has won the 2012 CycleCloud BigScience Challenge. Ruotti’s award comes in the form of computing time—the equivalent of eight hours on a 30,000-core cluster.
Ruotti submitted a project detailing the construction of a knowledgebase indexing system for human embryonic stem cells and their derivatives via utility supercomputing power. To harness the therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and their cellular derivatives, researchers must first perform a series of analyses, requiring hours of computational time.

Morgridge Institute’s Shevde writes on stem cells for Nature
Stem cells are powerful. They can transform into any one of the 220 cell types in the human body and their ability to renew themselves, or to create new tissue, is almost infinite. These properties make stem cells an important tool in the lab and in medicine. In the February 29, 2012 issue of the Journal Nature, Nirupama “Rupa” Shevde, director of outreach experiences for the Morgridge Institute for Research, writes about the latest in stem cell research and addresses some common points of confusion.
