Descrizione del progetto
Cracovia ospita un nuovo centro europeo per la medicina computazionale
La diagnostica computazionale è un settore tecnologico in rapida evoluzione che si occupa di modelli e algoritmi statistici volti ad analizzare set di dati genomici su larga scala per finalità diagnostiche e prognostiche. Questo settore, rilevando i modelli per la previsione di entità specifiche, si configura come essenziale per la prevenzione, la diagnosi e il trattamento di determinate malattie. Il progetto Sano, finanziato dall’UE, creerà un centro europeo per la medicina computazionale a Cracovia, in Polonia. Esso incentiverà e indirizzerà lo sviluppo di nuovi metodi nell’ambito dell’assistenza sanitaria e della diagnosi mediante innovativi approcci personalizzati al trattamento dei pazienti. I nuovi metodi emergenti ridurranno i costi dei trattamenti e ne miglioreranno l’efficacia. Il nuovo centro amplierà le conoscenze e agevolerà il trasferimento tecnologico e di conoscenze nell’intero settore.
Obiettivo
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.
