Summary: The example of the WISDOM project illustrates one way in which biomedicine has benefited from computer-enabled methods of research, through use of grid technology. Taking advantage of large number of computing resources available in such distributed computing infrastructure, it was permitted to address simulations of drug-discovery and also to proceed to disease monitoring by the dynamical aspect of grid. Epidemiology and computer-intensive analysis of geographically distributed medical images are other inpiring researches of the grid paradigm.
