CSBC BCCL MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Bioinformatics Computational Core Laboratories (BCCL) of the Center for the Study of Biological Complexity is to support the application of high performance computational resources to basic and applied research in the life and biomedical sciences at VCU. In particular, the BCCL seeks to:

1) To support and enhance university-wide core high performance computing
   (HPC) and related technologies for –

• computational needs of researchers working in the “omic”
   hierarchies,
• large-scale data storage, management, and data mining,
• comprehensive computational high-performance computing,
   mathematical modeling, simulation, analysis and
• advanced scientific visualization of natural and synthetic
   phenomena and,
• utilize to the application of the results of these analyses as
   an integrated tool for rapid discovery.

2) To provide ongoing learning experiences through the BCCL Teaching
    Instructional and Videoconferencing Laboratory, a state-of-the-art
    teaching environment that caters to classroom instruction for high school
    through graduate/post-graduate students.

3) To provide an ongoing videoconferencing and seminar environment
    capable of supporting satellite up/downlink and direct connect
    videoconferencing tools for the purposes of delivering the most current
    instruction to the VCU and surrounding community.

For additional details, please send email to Dr. Tarynn M. Witten, Senior Fellow and Director of R & D. You may also contact her at the Center for the Study of Biological Complexity, VCU Life Sciences Bldg., Suite 111, 1000 West Cary Street, PO Box 842030, Richmond, VA 23284-2030 USA.
