Emerging Challenges in Multi-Scale Modeling in Biology
Welcome to Biomed Town!
Biomedical Research & Technology, Biomedical Industry and Clinical Practice needed a meeting place where to develop the shared vision called Integrative Research. We created it: is called Biomed Town. This free community is open to all those who have a professional or educational interest in biomedical research & technology.

New FP7 calls on the Virtual Physiological Human presented at ICT2008
After the great attention drawn in Helsinki on 2006, the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) initiative kept a central place also at ICT2008, the biannual event that showcase the most important research activities supported under the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) programme of the Seventh Framework Program of the European Commission. The event gave the opportunity to the eHealth unit to present two new calls for proposals related to the VPH.

VPHOP at the ICT-BIO 2008 conference
As part of the ICT-BIO 2008 conference, the VPHOP consortium organised a session on the musculoskeletal system that showcased the state of the art in integrative biomedical research worldwide with respect to this important part of human pathophysiology. Speakers from Europe, Japan and United States presented very exciting developments such as the use of the Petaflop Japanese supercomputer, capable of 1000 billion operation every second, to simulate the human skeleton at an unsurpassed level of detail, or the prediction of neuromuscular control the astronauts will use while walking on Mars.
