CORE--SHARED COMPUTER FACILITY

共享计算机设施是Kimmel癌症中心基础科学和临床研究的重要计算机资源，为计算机相关问题提供共享计算机硬件和软件基础设施，软件开发和咨询服务。为了支持KCC的基础科学，这是科学家支持DNA/氨基酸序列分析的主要设施，也是结构生物学组的计算资源，包括分子建模，NMR和X射线晶体学。共享计算机设施还支持临床研究，为临床试验支持服务，杰斐逊癌症网络，各种计划项目和个人临床研究人员提供计算机资源。已经开发了应用程序，以提供对临床数据、实验室数据和方案信息的受控和安全访问，用于研究和临床试验的管理。对于KCC基础科学家和临床医生来说，共享计算机设施提供了基本的计算基础设施，包括网络可访问的大容量（磁盘）存储、互联网/万维网访问以及硬件和软件体验。SCF工作人员与大学的信息系统和硬件和软件专业知识密切合作。SCF工作人员与大学的信息系统部门密切合作，为TJU提供的通用网络支持提供更全面的服务，以适应癌症研究的具体需求。此外，SCF工作人员还向KCC成员提供有关计算机规格和购买、硬件和软件安装和配置、应用程序使用以及解决计算机使用问题的咨询。

The Shared Computer Facility is an essential and important computer resource both for basic science and clinical research at the Kimmel Cancer Center, providing shared computer hardware and software infrastructure, software development, and consultative services for computer-related concerns. In support of basic science at KCC, this is the primary Facility for scientist support with DNA/Amino Acid Sequence Analysis, and is a computational resource for the Structural Biology group which includes molecular modeling, NMR and x-ray crystallography. The Shared Computer Facility also support clinical research, providing computer resources for the Clinical Trial Support Services, the Jefferson Cancer Network, various program projects, and individual clinical researchers. Applications have been developed to provide controlled and secure access to clinical data, laboratory data, and protocol information for research and the management of clinical trials. For both KCC basic scientists and clinicians, the Shared Computer Facility provides the basic computing infrastructure, including network-accessible mass (disk) storage, Internet/World-Wide-Web access, and hardware and software experience. The SCF staff works closely with the University's information systems and hardware and software expertise. The SCF staff works closely with the University's information systems department, supplementing the generic network support provided by TJU with more comprehensive services attuned to the specific needs of cancer research. Additionally, SCF staff are available to KCC members for consultation on computer specifications and purchases, hardware and software installation and configuration, applications use, and trouble-shooting computer use problems.
