HPC for Life Sciences
HPC systems allow healthcare and life sciences organizations to run workloads such as genomics, proteomics, computational chemistry, molecular dynamics, bioinformatics and cryo-EM better, faster and with lower costs. For some projects, every hour closer to discovery and results can mean the difference between life and death.

How life sciences use HPC to turn ideas into reality

TGen performs groundbreaking research with life changing results

The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen®) is a nonprofit medical research institute dedicated to unravelling the genetic components of common and complex diseases, including COVID, cancer, neurological disorders, infectious disease and rare childhood disorders. Using HPC powered by Dell Technologies and Intel®, TGen was able to cut genomics sequencing times from two weeks to just eight hours.

“Our partnership with Dell Technologies has been a cornerstone to a lot of work that we’ve done and has enabled TGen to stay ahead of the pack and be a leader in precision medicine.”
— James Lowey, CIO, TGen
The latest 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors help researchers work fast, with up to 53% higher average life science HPC performance vs. the prior generation, to refine predictions and models and perform large-scale calculations for more accurate, longer simulations.
