Han Liang, the Barnhart Family Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, has harnessed the power of Indiana University’s Jetstream2 computational resource to develop DrBioRight 2.0, an AI-powered chatbot for cancer bioinformatics data.

“Thanks to U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) ACCESS allocations on Jetstream2, a high-performance cloud computing infrastructure based at Indiana University, we were able to enable worldwide scientists to intuitively explore and analyze large-scale cancer proteomics and multi-omics datasets through natural language queries and interactive visualizations,” Liang said. “The DrBioRight 2.0 platform enhances cancer research by allowing users, regardless of computational expertise, to access complex data insights quickly and accurately.”

Details regarding DrBioRight 2.0 have been published in Nature Communications.

This collaboration between the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and NSF ACCESS highlights how national-scale supercomputing resources like Jetstream2 are pivotal in accelerating transformative biomedical discoveries and supporting the national research community.
