Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures (SIMBIOS)
PI: Russ Altman, M.D., Ph.D.
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. http://cbmc-web.stanford.edu/simbios/
National Alliance for Medical Imaging Computing (NAMIC)
PI: Ron Kikinis, M.D.
PI Institution: Brigham and Women's Hospital
The National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NAMIC), proposed here, will integrate the efforts of leading researchers with a
shared vision for development and distribution of the tools required to advance the power of imaging as a methodology for quantifying
and analyzing biomedical data. This shared vision is based on a thorough composition of computational methods, from image
acquisition to analysis, that builds on the best available practices in algorithm development, software engineering, and application of
medical image computing for understanding and mitigating the effects of disease and disability. 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) for
NAMIC. http://www.na-mic.org/index.htm
Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (I2B2)
PI: Isaac Kohane, M.D., Ph.D.
PI Institution: Brigham and Women's Hospital
I2B2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology and the
Bedside) is an NIH-funded National Center for
Biomedical Computing based at Partners
HealthCare System. 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.

Center for Computational Biology (CCB)
PI: Arthur Toga, Ph.D.
PI Institution: University of California at Los Angeles
The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) was established to develop, implement and test computational biology methods that are
applicable across spatial scales and biological systems. Our objective is to help elucidate characteristics and relationships that would
otherwise be impossible to detect and measure. The CCB employs an integrative approach, both in terms of the biology and the
participating disciplines. 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. This will be specifically applied to the
study of brain structure and function in health and disease, but will have much broader applicability to both biomedical computing and
computational biology. http://www.loni.ucla.edu/CCB/

• To study the organization of the complex networks
of biochemical interactions whose concerted activity
determines cellular processes at increasing levels of
granularity.
• To provide an integrative computational framework
to organize molecular interactions in the cell into
manageable context dependent components.
• To develop interoperable computational models and
tools that can leverage such cellular interaction
maps to elucidate key biological processes and to

Goals of Software and Data
Integration Working Group (SDIWG)
The RFA states the goal of creating “the networked
national effort to build the computational
infrastructure for biomedical computing for the
nation”. In furthering this, the goals of the SDIWG
in concert with the Project Team and Centers
staff are:
1. To advance the domain sciences, and promote
software interoperability and data exchange.
2. To capture the collective knowledge of software
engineering and practices among the Centers
and publish this knowledge widely

Suggestion for Next Step
1. Choose one of the existing ontologies as a starting point, perhaps a
combination of the MAGNet and CCB ontologies.
2. Find one person at each NCBC who is interested in the issue of
categorizing their software and who is willing to work with the
SDIWG on incorporating their taxonomy into the chosen top level
ontology.
3. The NCBC representatives will incorporate their software into the
ontology directly or suggest changes needed in order to incorporate
their software.
4. After the software are all integrated into one ontology, a set of
attributes to describe the software will be developed. A format for
storing the ontology will be agreed upon.
5. Each NCBC will create and host an instance of the ontology to
describe their resources. OWL/Semantic Web may be used.
