Project description
Kraków home to new European centre for computational medicine
Computational diagnostics is a rapidly advancing technological domain. It deals with statistical models and algorithms to analyse large-scale genomic datasets for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. By detecting patterns that are predictive for specific entities, it is crucial for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. The EU-funded Sano project will create a European centre for Computational Medicine in Kraków, Poland. It will boost and drive the development of new methods in healthcare and diagnosis via novel personalised approaches to patient treatment. The new emerging methods will reduce costs and improve treatment efficacy. The new centre will boost knowledge, and facilitate knowledge and technology transfer in the whole sector.
Objective
This proposal describes the creation in Kraków, Poland, of a centre for Computational Medicine. The Centre will be a major driver for European advancement in this rapidly growing sector, developing sophisticated engineering methods for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, and meeting the overarching worldwide need for radically streamlined healthcare systems.
The Centre’s area of operation will be computational medicine:
(1) Clinician-led activity can be radically reduced by migrating the majority of routine clinical assessments toward computationally-driven
(2) Entirely new approaches to disease diagnosis and management follow the development of novel computed biomarkers of disease, personalised to the individual patient, and typically leading to dramatically reduced costs.
The Centre will combine expertise in machine-learning based decision science with fundamental biomarker identification using advanced simulation and data analysis methods.
The Centre will act as a core technology provider for industry, fostering modernisation, innovation and increasing productivity, and additionally it will act as a catalyst, attracting new investment and businesses. It will provide an essential link between computational, medical sciences and the industrial sector, thus fostering knowledge and technology transfer and accelerating innovation.
The Centre is to be established in Kraków because of several local advantages with regard to the education and research infrastructure, the high concentration of research hospitals and a dynamic entrepreneurial community in life sciences, so being embedded in a highly dynamic and competitive ecosystem
The Centre will provide a fully sustainable mix of three advanced technical services, loosely categorised as education, project participation and industrial product development, with these three strands ultimately contributing approximately equally to the Centre’s income stream.
