About BioHPC
Launched in 2026
Established at the University of Copenhagen's Biologisk Institut as a central computing resource for biological research, utilizing KU-IT's Rubus Platform.
Purpose-Built Architecture
Specifically designed to handle computationally intensive biological research challenges including genomics, protein folding, and systems biology.
Institute-wide Access
Serving researchers from across the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Science with tailored computing environments for specialized research needs.
01 - Register as Principal Investigator
Principal Investigators (PIs) and research group leaders can register for access to BioHPC, the University of Copenhagen’s shared high-performance computing platform for biological and biomedical research avaliable for employees from the Institute of Biology.
This registration allows us to verify institutional affiliation, establish the PI relationship, and prepare the administrative framework required for project spaces, user management, and resource allocation.
Please have the following information available before starting:
  • Research group information
  • Department and institutional affiliation
  • Contact details
  • Technical contact information (optional)
Once your registration has been reviewed and approved, you will be able to request one or more BioHPC project spaces for your research activities.
02 - BioHPC Project Space Request
A project space provides your research group with dedicated storage, compute accounting, collaboration management, and access control within BioHPC.
Use this form to request a new project space for a research project, grant, collaboration, course, or other scientific activity. Multiple project spaces may be requested if separate environments are required with different users. Only verified PI's will be able to apply for a project space.
The information provided will help the BioHPC team allocate appropriate storage, configure access permissions, and plan future resource requirements.
You may be asked to provide:
  • Project name and description
  • Estimated storage requirements
  • Backup policy
  • Accounting details
  • Data transfer requirements (e.g. migration from Computerome or other systems)
  • Special compliance considerations
Once approved, the BioHPC team will provision the project space and provide onboarding information.
