One of the main objectives of the HBP is to create and operate six Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Platforms, which are the core of the emerging HBP research infrastructure for brain research. Starting 30 March 2016, the scientific community worldwide can begin exploring the initial versions of the six HBP ICT Platforms. The Platforms embody the key objectives of the HBP, to gather and disseminate data describing the brain, to simulate and build models of the brain, to develop brain-inspired computing and robotics, and to create a global scientific community around the developing research infrastructure. The Platforms consist of prototype hardware, software tools, databases, programming interfaces, and initial data-sets, which will be refined and expanded on an on-going basis in close collaboration with end-users. The development of the Platforms has been the result of an extensive multidisciplinary effort involving more than 750 scientific collaborators and engineers from 114 institutions in 24 countries. The Platforms are as follows: the Neuroinformatics Platform, the Brain Simulation Platform, the High Performance Analytics and Computing Platform, the Medical Informatics Platform, the Neuromorphic Computing Platform and the Neurorobotics Platform. ...

Unter dem Vorsitz von Professor Eva-Maria Neher wird die 129. Versammlung der Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte e. V. (GDNÄ) von Freitag, 9. September bis Montag, 12. September 2016 in der Universitäts- und Hansestadt Greifswald stattfinden. Das Thema der diesjährigen Versammlung ist: „Naturwissenschaft und Medizin – zwischen Kontinuität und Umbruch“. Mit dieser Schwerpunktsetzung machen wir deutlich, worauf wissenschaftliche Durchbrüche unserer Zeit beruhen – auf der kontinuierlichen Arbeit von Generationen herausragender Wissenschaftler. Neben dem Nobelpreisträger Stefan Hell, den Fusions- und Infektions-Experten aus Greifswald, 20 Vorträgen zu aktuellen Forschungsthemen und einem exklusiven Exkursionsprogramm, bietet die 129. Versammlung mit ihrem Veranstaltungsort Greifswald Urlaubsflair und Wissenschaftstradition zugleich. ... [Information des Anbieters]
We wholeheartedly welcome you to the 55th Annual Meeting of the GV-SOLAS and 17th IGTP training in Cologne. Aging research is a key focus area represented in Cologne with the Max Planck Institute and CECAD, the Cluster of Excellence of the University of Cologne. How can animals be used to investigate the causes of the aging process and to develop successful therapies to treat age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke or neurodegeneration? Such translational approaches regarding aging research will be a focus of the GV-Meeting 2017. Current developments in the field of targeted genetic modifications lead to expectations that the spectrum of genetically modified experimental animals with harmful phenotypes will increase and present the field of Laboratory Animal Science with new challenges. Initially limited to a few species, such genetic changes are now possible in a variety of organisms and can be performed quickly and with little expertise required. The conference will provide a platform for a lively exchange in this area. An integral part of our meeting in the form of seminars and workshops include classic laboratory animal issues such as veterinary medicine, nutrition, hygiene management, the application of the 3Rs principles, new developments and the practical implementation of the Protection of Animals Act and the General Administrative Directive for the Execution of the Protection of Animals Act, aspects of training and, not least, public relations. The always controversial debate about the the use of laboratory animals in research continues to have great social relevance. In this meeting, we want to provide insight in ways to support the acceptance of animal research using scientifically based justifications and logical, reasonable answers. I look forward to an exciting congress and to welcome you to the city of Cologne with its 2000 year history. ... [Information of the supplier]

Medicinal and aromatic plants in many forms have been used since the ancient times in the traditional medicinal practices for health care. According to the WHO report, medicinal plants are accessible, affordable and culturally appropriate sources of primary health care for more than 80% of the world population relies on traditional medicine largely plant based for their primary healthcare needs. The 7th Global Summit on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants is therefore being organized from November 19-21, 2018 at The Empress Hotel, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The theme of the summit will be: Herbal Medicinen in Health Care". ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

This year abstracts are invited for topic areas as: Precision Medicine; Phenotypes, genotypes, and variants; Data Standards and Ontologies. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The field of immunometabolism has thrived over the last decade, revealing not only the major roles played by immune cells in metabolic homeostasis but also the impact of metabolic pathways on immune cell function. As new discoveries continue to reveal the intricate links between immunology and metabolism, a key question arises: will our accumulated knowledge on immunometabolic deregulations translate into novel therapies for human diseases? During this Cell Symposium, you will hear about the latest advances in immunometabolism from physician-scientists, basic researchers and industry leaders. We will discuss how local and systemic metabolism are integrated at the cellular level to regulate immune cell function and we will focus on how novel insights into immunometabolism can be harnessed to advance and/or bolster therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases, inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. ...
