Center for Computational Quantum Physics
Scientific Computing Core
It develops, deploys and maintains computational infrastructure — from supercomputers to desktop PCs — dedicated solely to the use of Flatiron researchers.
Collaborative Work
Structural and Molecular Biophysics Collaboration
Underlying all biological processes are molecules and their interactions with each other. However, our ability to understand how these molecules function over biologically relevant scales remains very limited.
