The UKEIM team, led by Dr. José María Cecilia, aims to design an IoT infrastructure that allows efficient analysis of information through artificial intelligence techniques, to offer solutions to the challenges of society in real time.
"Through this technology, problems related to the optimization of processes in agriculture, livestock and the detection of meteorological phenomena or traffic and pollution problems could be solved, making the immediate decisions about the infrastructure itself," says the researcher.
Likewise, supercomputing is allowing the pharmaceutical industry to solve some inconveniences related to limitations at the level of predictive capacity and data processing speed.
In this line the new project that will lead the principal investigator of the BIO-HPC group of the Catholic University of Murcia, Dr. Horacio Pérez, who will use this methodology based on computational chemistry to accelerate the processes in the discovery of new linked drugs is contextualized to diseases such as colorectal cancer and Fabry, or cell rejuvenation.
All this is thanks to the project financed by the Autonomous Community through the Call for Aid to Projects for the Development of Scientific and Technical Research by Competitive Groups, included in the Regional Program for the Promotion of Scientific and Technical Research of the Se´ Foundation neca-Agency of Science and Technology of the Region of Murcia.
