The UKEIM team, led by the doctor José María Cecilia, aims at designing an IoT infrastructure that allows the efficient analysis of information through artificial intelligence techniques, to offer solutions to the challenges of society in real-time. “Through this technology it will be possible to solve problems related to the optimisation of processes in agriculture, farming and detection of weather events or traffic and pollution problems, and also to take the immediate decisions on the infrastructure itself”, ensures the researcher.

Likewise, supercomputing is allowing our pharmaceutical industry to solve some inconveniences related to the limitations in terms of predictive capacity and data processing speed.

This is the context that frames the new project that will be led by the main researcher of the BIO-HPC group of the UCAM, doctor Horacio Pérez, who will use this methodology based on computational chemistry to accelerate the processes in the discovering of new drugs linked to illnesses such as colorectal cancer and Fabry disease, or for cellular rejuvenation.

All of this is possible thanks to the project financed by the Autonomous Community through the Announcement of Grants for Projects for the Development of Scientific and Technical Research for Competitive Groups, included in the Regional Programme to Promote the Scientific and Technical Research of the Séneca Foundation-Agency of Science and Technology of the Region of Murcia.
