The National Institute of Environmental Health Science Computational Biology Facility (NIEHS CBF) is maintained within the Office of the Scientific Director and is directed to serve the computational needs of investigators within the NIEHS Division of Intramural Research.

The NIEHS CBF will develop a computational structure for research, which will, in turn, provide a means for developing integrated service functions within the NIEHS, and to act as a platform for outreach to the scientific community.

Recognizing the necessity of computational sciences support, the NIEHS CBF will seek to develop a community of interactive scientists who utilize the facility, but more importantly, recognize and leverage their strengths to develop an exportable knowledge base of programs, algorithms, processes and best practices for computational biology to the scientific community.

Currently the CBF is able to offer the following resources for projects for use to the DIR community:

Accelrys Software

The CBF has a large inventory of Accelrys software in many functional areas including molecular modeling, toxicology and others.

BioTeam iNquiry

iNquiry is a web based genomics discovery tool hosted off a high speed Macintosh cluster

Schrödinger Software

We currenly offer Glide and Macromodel, Prime, Jaguar and others.

The Portland Group

The Portland Group provides a developer toolkit upon which OpenMP and MPI applications can be written to support high performance computing.
