BioCoRE - Biological Collaborative Research Environment
NIH Resource for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics
UIUC

BioCoRE is an acronym for Biological Collaborative Research Environment and one of our goals for the project is to be the solution to all of the collaborative issues in structural biology.

The Resource for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics is engaged in a wide range of projects in structural biology and, in developing BioCoRE, we are building upon our established experience in developing network-based software for data communication in visual molecular dynamics. BioCoRE is going to be an integrated, tool-oriented computing and communication system which will support collaboration in the field of structural biology. This network-centered meta-application will:

  • improve collaboration between biomedical researchers located at the same or geographically distant sites;
  • facilitate the transparent use of and communication between Resource and third-party programs, tools, and databases;
  • allow researchers to share information, computational and data-storage resources;
  • enable scientists to interact in both synchronous and asynchronous fashion with each other or the modeling tools through a common infrastructure;
  • enable scientists to initiate new collaborations through its communication interface and to reduce the need for travel between collaborating research groups.

BioCoRE will consist of four main areas:

A built-in evaluation component will guarantee an ongoing assessment of the BioCoRE development and effectiveness of new environment.
