Details: * On October 9, 2013, RWTH Aachen University and Bayer Technology Services (BTS) have signed a sponsoring agreement for the foundation of the Joint Research Center on Computational Biomedicine. The objective of this pre-competitive partnership is the development of new methods in the fast-growing area of computer-based modeling of complex biological processes. The new research center initially will have a staff of around 10, and is expected to develop into one of the leading institutions in Europe by 2018. The research center is a component of both the Research Cluster for Modeling and Simulation and the Faculty of Medicine at RWTH Aachen University.
The Joint Research Center on Computational Biomedicine will be headed by Prof. Andreas Schuppert, key expert for industrial mathematics at Bayer Technology Services and university professor at the Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering Science, RWTH Aachen University, in collaboration with another professor still to be appointed.
