Supercomputers Catapult Speed of Research Ahead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Can technology be the key that unlocks the secret to curing cancer? A report from the Cancer Moonshot Task Force confirmed the importance of supercomputers<\/a> to research focusing on immunotherapy for cancer<\/a> and other effective treatments.<\/p>\n

HPC: A High-Tech Weapon Against Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cancer Moonshot program<\/a> originated in 2016 with the support of then-Vice President Joe Biden. At the time, Energy Secretary Ernie Monitz, a member of the task force, wrote about the role of high performance computing (HPC) in analyzing complex databases to identify patterns and other vital information.<\/p>\n

How Cancer Researchers Use HPC<\/strong><\/p>\n

HPC systems such as the one at the Texas Advanced Computing Center use seven basic methodologies to understand cancer biology and possible treatments.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Molecular simulations of protein and drug interactions help to create more effective treatments.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bioinformatics unravel the complexities of cancer genomes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mathematical modeling is used to develop formulas that predict how cancer will behave.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Quantum calculations help to refine radiation therapies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Computational treatment planning creates the pinpoint accuracy required to prevent radiation from damaging organs and healthy tissues.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Computational trial design is used in immunotherapy for cancer<\/a> to gauge the correct combination of dosages.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Machine learning is how researchers develop algorithms and other statistical methods to analyze and interpret massive datasets.<\/p>\n
