Description & Coverage
Description:

Grids are currently used in many sectors of life sciences, including basic sciences such as genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.

The Handbook of Research on Computational Grid Technologies for Life Sciences, Biomedicine, and Healthcare brings together state-of-the art methodologies and developments of grid technologies applied in different fields of life sciences. This Handbook of Research considers the use of grid technologies to support research and application of each information level where life science research takes place - a useful reference source for academicians, medical practitioners, and researchers involved in all areas of healthcare technologies.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Biomedical application
  • Data mining in proteomics
  • Data provenance in scientific workflows
  • Docking process in drug discovery
  • Grid-based epidemic surveillance system
  • Grid-based tool for comparative genomics
  • Heart failure awareness management system
  • Managing uncertain data
  • Molecular structure determination
  • Multiple repositories for digital content
  • Polymorph prediction data for drug development
  • Resource discovery in health grids
Reviews & Statements

The book surveys state-of-the art research, methodologies and applications of Grid technology in different fields of Life Sciences, from basic science to clinical and healthcare applications.
