Robert Grossman Lab

About the Lab

Professor Grossman’s research group focuses on bioinformatics, data mining, cloud computing, data intensive computing, and related areas.  Current research projects include: Bionimbus (http://www.bionimbus.org) a cloud-based system for managing, analyzing and sharing genomic data and the Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC) (http://www.opensciencedatacloud.org/), a large-scale distributed cloud-based infrastructure for managing, analyzing, integrating and sharing scientific data.  The OSDC is operated by the Open Cloud Consortium (http://www.opencloudconsortium.org/> (OCC), which is a not-for-profit supporting the cloud community by operating cloud infrastructure.  Professor Grossman is also interested in developing new algorithms for the large-scale analysis projects of genomic and phenotypic data.
