The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in collaboration with the HPCBio group led by Director of Bioinformatics Victor Jongeneel is helping change the way genetic medicine is researched and practiced in Africa.
Victor Jongeneel, director of High-Performance Biological Computing (HPCBio), has been appointed to the PubMed Central Advisory Committee of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The committee advises the NIH on the content and operation of the PubMed Central repository, and also establishes criteria to certify groups submitting materials to the system, monitors the operation of the system, and ensures that PubMed Central evolves and remains responsive to the needs of researchers, publishers, librarians and the general public.
Victor Jongeneel, director of the High-Performance Biological Computing (HPCBio) program and affiliate of the Institute for Genomic Biology and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, is a key participant in a grant awarded by the Human Heredity and Health in Africa Initiative, or H3Africa, to establish a pan-continental bioinformatics network to aid research.
