Research Highlights
MSU researchers from diverse disciplines take advantage of iCER’s services to accomplish amazing things. iCER’s mission is to assist computational research by providing easy-to-use high performance computing platforms, we allow faculty and students to better focus on their research. Our systems enable larger, broader and more complex computation than ever before– work that could have taken months or years now can be done in hours or days.

Leveraging the resilience of microbial communities to...
Microbial communities (or microbiomes) contain discrete populations of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses that interact both with each other and with their local environment. ...
Combining the Best of Blockchain and Cloud Computing
If you ask Nick Ivanov about his research, he might tell you that he is creating an anti-corruption machine in response to the inequity and unfairness he has seen in the world around him. Ivanov,...

Dr. Chris Adami is a Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics and of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University.
Putting Together the Puzzle of Topological Data Analysis
As a high school student, Dr. Liz Munch decided she did not want to be a math nerd and opted to pursue a music degree instead.
Faster than Atoms — Using Ultrafast Lasers to Catch Cancer
Dr. Marcos Dantus uses ultrafast lasers to study microscopic chemical and biological interactions that are impossible to observe with any other tool.
Introducing the Bioinformatics Core
The newly formed Bioinformatics Core at Michigan State University supports research by analyzing complex omics samples, integrating data from multiple methodologies, and providing a meaningful...
Designing drugs at the atomic scale with computer simulation
At the atomic level, the molecules in our bodies are in constant motion, and are undergoing constant change. The motions are incredibly rich; they range from the isomerization of side-chains, to...
Advancing the supernova mechanism study with computer...
We are star guts. The elements that we are made of were forged in massive stars billions of years ago, then spread throughout the young Milky Way galaxy by the explosive deaths of those same stars...
Enhancing motor learning through VR and robot technology
Although the terms motor skill and coordination bring to mind feats of elite athletes or musicians, there is a tremendous deal of skill and coordination required even to perform the most mundane...
Machine Learning Human Rights and Wrongs
TextLab uses digitally available, unstructured text along with computational tools to address core social science questions such as what countries are violating which human rights over time; on...
The Language of a Genome, Decoded through High Performance...
Dr. Shin-Han Shiu studies genetics and evolution. He and his colleagues, using computer simulations and through experiments with plants, explore how genes express themselves. Under what conditions...
The Origin of Electric Organs – Jason Gallant
Zoology Professor, Jason Gallant, from the Department of Zoology at Michigan State University, is broadly interested in the genomics basis of phenotypic evolution and diversification, particularly...
