State of computer science research

Source: http://csp.org.ph/

The research I read was about using Information technology in medical applications particularly for brain studies. The title of the paper is "Medical Grid: Using Grid Technology for Brain Studies". In the said study they are trying to use the existing technologies and algorithms to meet the growing demand for information storage and computational demands of brain studies. They are trying to develop this to use it with current brain testing facilities such as MRI and fMRI. From that context alone i can say that computing research is crossing over to medical researches to provide faster and more reliable systems that will help prolong, study and save lives.

yah, CS Research nowadays doesnt focus on the our field, yet it extend its application on the other field, and i guess medicine is one of its proofs.
