“Technological advances have taken the medical world to a whole new level, as digital infrastructure and state-of-the-art software offer doctors and patients the right tools for diagnosis and treatment. Helping to advance the technology further is the NEUGRID (A grid-based e-infrastructure for data archiving/communication and computationally intensive applications in the medical sciences) project, which is backed with EUR 2.8 million in financial support under the ‘Information and communication technologies’ (ICT) Theme of the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
The NEUGRID partners, who kick-started the project in 2008, are introducing a novel and user-friendly grid-based research e-Infrastructure that will give neuroscientists in Europe the support they need to tackle degenerative brain disorders including Alzheimer’s disease.”
