Descripción del proyecto
Cracovia, sede del nuevo centro europeo de medicina computacional
El diagnóstico computacional es un campo tecnológico que avanza rápidamente. Consiste en modelos estadísticos y algoritmos para analizar conjuntos de datos genómicos a gran escala con fines de diagnóstico y pronóstico. Al detectar patrones que son predictivos para entidades específicas, es crucial para la prevención, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de ciertas enfermedades. El proyecto Sano, financiado con fondos europeos, creará un centro europeo de medicina computacional en Cracovia (Polonia), que impulsará y fomentará el desarrollo de nuevos métodos y diagnósticos en la asistencia sanitaria, a través de nuevos planteamientos personalizados del tratamiento de los pacientes. Los nuevos métodos emergentes reducirán los costes y mejorarán la eficacia del tratamiento. El centro impulsará el conocimiento y facilitará la transferencia de información y tecnología en todo el sector.
Objetivo
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.
