Loma Linda University
School of Medicine has received
a $ 93,106 grant to expand the
biomedical research capabil
ities of the University's Scien
tific Computation Facility.
The grant has been awarded
by the Special Research Re
sources Branch of the Division
of Research Facilities and Re
sources of the National Insti
tutes of Health.
" The grant will enable us to
double the computer memory
and expand the staff," explained
Ivan R. Neilsen, PhD, profes
sor of physiology and biophys
ics and coordinator of the com
putation facility.
The new grant was based on
current research in the follow
ing categories: large scale
statistical studies, mathemati
cal models of biological systems
and information retrieval.
The Special Research Re
sources Branch, created to deal
with the need for facilities on a
regional or ' institutional basis
rather than an individual basis,
has recommended a grant of
$ 64,000 for the next two years
in addition to the original
grant.
The computer facility, avail
able for use by faculty mem
bers and students, is supervised
on an " open shop" basis staff
members serve as instructors
and consultants but the re
searcher does his own work.
For convenience, any campus
laboratory can be connected
with the computer by means of
the ordinary telephone.
Non- credit computer pro
gramming courses are offered
by the University for the con
venience of those wishing to
do research on the computer.
Due to the increased emphasis
on research, this fall medical
students will receive computer
programming instruction and
will solve research problems on
the computer as part of the
regular curriculum.
Milton E. Barber, present
programming and operations
director of the computation
facility, will begin a leave of
absence this fall to work on
his Doctor of Philosophy de
gree in computer science at
Stanford University, Palo Alto.
He will be temporarily replaced
by James J. Horning.
