-A donation of a high performance computing system to Marshfield Clinic Research Institute (MCRI) from Milwaukee Institute, Inc., will advance health care research and innovative treatment options at Marshfield Clinic Health System.MCHS has a long history of using research to inform and transform patient care that sets the System apart from other health care organizations. Peggy Peissig, Ph.D., director of MCRI’s Biomedical Informatics Research Center, said the HPC will transform MCRI’s ability to analyze patient health data and develop predictions that will assist physicians in identifying adverse events or ways to better care for patients.
The gift will have a tremendous impact on MCRI’s ability to continue conducting groundbreaking research that ultimately improves patient care. The HPC system harnesses the power equivalent to hundreds of computers to solve problems and analyze large amounts of data more efficiently than a single computer. This will allow researchers to identify genetic variants that could influence how doctors prescribe medications, while helping health care providers analyze and integrate health data more efficiently.
