In the past, it was rare for an astrophysicist to use the same tools as a molecular biologist. But the growth of scientific data and the shift to cloud computing is driving a convergence of computational tools and methods. Techniques such as computer vision can be applied across data as different as satellite imagery and pathology slides. As new discoveries increasingly depend on large-scale data analysis, researchers benefit from sharing technology expertise across otherwise unrelated disciplines.

To encourage the cross-pollination essential to scientific advances, Google Cloud announced the Research Innovators program. Although these researchers come from the physical, social, and biological sciences, they all share one thing in common—they’re leveraging the cloud to make scientific breakthroughs. As a result, the program supports a global community of researchers using Google Cloud to solve the impossible and includes world-renowned experts who will collaborate across various scientific domains and create real world solutions, open source projects, and technical documentation—all with expanded support from Google and exclusive access to Google programs and technical resources.
