INBIOMEDvision 

INBIOMEDvision is a Coordination and Support Action that aims to promote Biomedical Informatics (BMI) by means of the permanent monitoring of the scientific state-of-the-art and the identification of common grounds and potential synergies between current Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics approaches.

 OBJECTIVES

  The objectives of the project are:

  • To provide an overview of the state-of-the-art methods and models that connect biological systems described at the molecular level with the clinical physiopathology and to compile the existing knowledge on genotype and phenotype data resources.
  • To consolidate a BMI community of researchers by congregating and promoting the interaction between scientists from a wide range of related fields.
  • To develop and facilitate training activities able to engender new generations of scientists and professionals having the BMI perspective, as well as the skills for using the computational methods and tools in this field.
  • To widely disseminate the BMI knowledge and resources.
  • To devise sustainability measures that ensure the long-term maintenance of the INBIOMEDvision activities after the termination of the EU-funded CSA.

 

The Think Tanks will be composed of invited individuals, considered to be leaders in their field.

EuResist Network is member of the INBIOMEDvision community and invited participant in the Think Tanks.

The project is coordinated by Universitat Pompeu Fabra in the person of Prof. Ferran Sanz.
