With the advance of computing power, the techniques of biocomputing have become important tools to address many biological problems. With this in mind, the Biocenter Oulu has taken the initiative in providing a Biocomputing core facility (The Jovian Cluster) with the main objective to provide a computing environment to carry out small to medium sized projects in the field of:

• Bioinformatics
• Biomolecular simulation
• Protein modeling

The core facility is maintained by the Biocomputing Research Group at the Department of Biochemistry.
