    An article by Dinesh C. Sharma:

    ``The Mayo Clinic will partner with IBM to model diseases and, it's hoped, find cures using Blue Gene supercomputer.

    ``The two organizations said Wednesday that they will jointly develop new technologies and devices aimed at improving diagnosis, curing diseases and developing individualized treatment. Mayo will use IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer for mathematical modeling required to understand gene and protein structures and their interactions to get clues about disease causes. This may help understand genes responsible for certain diseases, including different types of cancers.
    [...]
    ``A project on individualized patient care, planned by Mayo and IBM, involves using data mining tools to provide customized information for each patient to his or her practicing physician on demand. This could allow doctors to access information regarding a patient's disease, research, clinical outcomes and response to therapy of other patients with the same conditions, Mayo and IBM said.''
