5. Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures (SIMBIOS) PI: Russ Altman, MD, PhD PI Institution: Stanford University This Center will develop, disseminate, and support a simulation tool kit (SimTK) that will enable biomedical scientists to develop and share accurate models and simulations of biological structures from atoms to organisms. SimTK will be an open-source, extensible, object-oriented framework for manipulating data, models, and simulations. The software will include advanced capabilities for modeling the geometry and physics of biological systems, generating the governing differential equations of these systems, integrating the equations to simulate the system dynamics, and interpreting the simulation results through comparison with experimental data.

6. Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (I2B2) PI: Isaac Kohane, MD, PhD PI Institution: Brigham and Women's Hospital The I2B2 Center is developing a scalable informatics framework that will bridge clinical research data and the vast data banks arising from basic science research in order to better understand the genetic bases of complex diseases. This knowledge will facilitate the design of targeted therapies for individual patients with diseases having genetic origins.

7. National Alliance for Medical Imaging Computing (NAMIC) PI: Ron Kikinis, MD PI Institution: Brigham and Women's Hospital NAMIC’s goal is to develop, integrate, and deploy computational image analysis systems that are applicable to multiple diseases, in different organs. To provide focus for these efforts, a set of key problems in schizophrenia research has been selected as the initial Driving Biological Projects (DBPs).

8. The CCB develops, implements, and tests computational biology methods that are applicable across spatial scales and biological systems. The Center focuses on the brain, specifically on neuroimaging, and involves research in mathematics, computational methods and informatics. It also is involved in the development of a new form of software infrastructure – the computational atlas – to manage multidimensional data spanning many scales and modalities. Center for Computational Biology (CCB) PI: Arthur Toga, PhD PI Institution: University of California at Los Angeles

9. NCIBI develops and interactively integrates analytical and modeling technologies to acquire or create context-appropriate molecular biology information from emerging experimental data, international genomic databases, and the published literature. The NCIBI supports information access and data analysis workflow of collaborating biomedical researchers, enabling them to build computational and knowledge models of biological systems validated through focused work on specific diseases.

10. PI: Andrea Califano, PhD PI Institution: Columbia University Construct an environment for comprehensive mapping and analysis of molecular cellular interactions Evidence integration framework to collect and fuse diverse cellular interaction clues based on statistical relevance Comprehensive set of physics- and knowledge-based methodologies to fill framework Methodologies and filters, anchored in formal domain ontologies, to associate specific interactions to an organisms, tissue, molecular, and cellular context

11. A consortium of biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative technology and methods that allow scientists to create, disseminate, and manage biomedical information and knowledge in machine- processable form.
