Supported by CENIC's 400-gigabit research network, the Pacific Research Platform has not only enabled researchers at UC San Diego and their partners at the University of Haifa in Israel to go ahead with their archeological dig despite the COVID-19 pandemic but also drastically accelerated data analysis times.
Neuroscience researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz, University of California San Francisco, and Washington University in St. Louis use the cloud-scale Pacific Research Platform and National Research Platform to share and compute massive open-source datasets, accelerating experiment times from weeks to mere hours.
With innovative networking tools available on the Pacific Research Platform, Professor Alex Feltus at Clemson University in South Carolina analyzes massive genomics datasets to better understand how genes interact to cause disease in humans. His dream is for everyone to have access to the PRP, which would drastically accelerate scientific discovery.
