The ebiolab is a VLe project of the Microarray Department. The main parners involved in the project are SARA (technical support), Nikhef (housing), the HMI-group Univ. of Twente (research) and NBIC (money).

Purpose

Life scientists today have to deal with huge amounts of experimental data that only can be fully addressed by multidisciplinary teams of experts doing complex and computational intensive in-silico analysis and experimentation. To support this e-bioscience approach we have built an e-BioLab, a physical space in which scientists can analyze and visualize large biological data sets, discuss results and address biological research questions in an interactive and multidisciplinary setting. The e-BioLab is equipped with advanced visualization end- points, such as a large high-resolution tiled display, high bandwidth connectivity and access to high performance computing. It is set up in an e-science way with methodology facilitating re-use of methods and tools and by application of domain dedicated Problem Solving Environments.
