HSCCI ribbon cutting
New York State Senator Joe Robach, University of Rochester President Joel Seligman, NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo, NYS assemblyman Harry Bronson, and NYS senator Jim Alesi cut the ribbon to unveil the Blue Gene/Q on August 03, 2012.

The mission of the Health Sciences Center for Computational Innovation (HSCCI) is to facilitate access to high performance computing resources for biomedical research. Home to IBM's next generation supercomputer – the Blue Gene/Q – it is one of the five most powerful university-based supercomputing sites in the nation.  The Center for Governmental Research estimates that HSCCI will create 900 jobs in the community and generate $205 million in new research funding over the next 10 years.

"With this partnership, New York has an unprecedented opportunity to participate in cutting-edge healthcare research while creating hundreds of jobs at the University and in the Finger Lakes region."

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo
