Key Role for CyVerse in NSF's Newest Synthesis Center
National Synthesis Center for Emergence in the Molecular and Cellular Sciences (NCEMS) to transform data-driven research on emergent properties in molecular and cellular systems

This combination of images represents the work of the National Synthesis Center for Emergence in the Molecular and Cellular Sciences (NCEMS), the first synthesis center in the molecular and cellular sciences. NCEMS will focus on synthesizing and analyzing existing data at the cellular and molecular scale and providing tools and training for the community to conduct its own analyses.

The value of CyVerse cyberinfrastructure is recognized in the NSF's newest synthesis center, the National Center for Emergence in the Molecular and Cellular Sciences (NCEMS), whose mission is to characterize emergent properties at the spatial scale between molecules and cellular organelles and their influence on higher order subcellular and cellular systems. NCEMS will support the community in carrying out team and open science; enable collaboration through cloud-agnostic cyberinfrastructure provided by CyVerse at the University of Arizona; provide training in essential elements of data science, machine learning, statistics, and reproducible science; and offer nationwide opportunities to participate in NCEMS research remotely.
