3MiCRON is an ambitious project which gathers some of the most advanced European medical and technical institutions together to address the design of new strategies in diagnostics, and to push the potential of medical imaging beyond the state-of-the-art. In vivo multimodality imaging is a fast growing field in medical research and, although the achievements at clinical level of this diagnostic method are recent, it is already one of the most promising approaches in the diagnosis of diseases in many research addressed medical centres.

For Life is an exhibition about how research and development of new treatments and methods in the Stockholm-Uppsala region (Sweden) kan contribute to the addressing of global unhealthiness and rising healthcare costs. We tell the stories of highly pressing issues and what's being conducted as to find solutions to them. We also tell of our strong tradition, and potential to develop improved diagnostics, medicine technical products and medicines.

The Human Brain Project will systematically collect and analyze data on the brain, derive organizing principles and build brain models with as much biological detail as technically possible. As brain science and medicine advance, the models will evolve to incorporate ever richer data and knowledge. Building such models represents an enormous challenge that will shape the future of supercomputing, and provide the technologies we need to create realistic simulations of life processes. Combined with high-level mathematical theories of brain function, they will make it possible to build a new class of brain-like hardware devices and computer architectures.

INCF newsletters and press releases

Royal Institute of Technology, together with Karolinska Institute, are the host institutions of INCF. INCF is an OECD initiated international organization with several member countries in Europe, Asia and North-America. INCF develops collaborative neuroinformatics infrastructure and promotes the sharing of data and computing resources to the international research community. Neuroinformatics integrates information across all levels and scales of neuroscience to help understand the brain and treat disease.
