The NIH/NIGMS
Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing

IMAGEVIS3DThe U's Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing just landed a $6.1 million grant renewal from the National Institutes of Health. The center produces open-source software for image-based modeling, simulation and visualization of biomedical data. Tens of thousands of scientists have downloaded the center's software tools and data sets, and more than 200 papers published by scientists outside the center reference its software or computing infrastructure.

The NIH grant has a five year term. The principle investigators are bioengineering professor Rob MacLeod, computer science professor Ross Whitaker, and computer science professor Christopher Johnson, who directs the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute.
