In the recent newsletter from @IHI, the spotlight is on the results of two IMI projects that SIB is involved in:
🔴 FAIRplus - which is delivering a wealth of resources to ensure data is FAIR
🔴 Rhapsody - which has identified biomarkers associated with #diabetes development and progression
A challenge competition with a $50 million purse seeks new strategies to attack the global substance abuse epidemic, including personalized diagnostics and treatments.
Congratulations to Dr. Erin Gibbons, who successfully defended her PhD thesis, "Advancing Mars Life Detection: Insights from a Glaciovolcanic Analogue and Enhanced Rover Survey Techniques."
Erin Gibbons in the field at Kverkfjöll, north of Vatnajökull. There she sampled water and sediments to characterize microbial communities and biomarkers in this extreme environment. #Iceland#Vatnajökull#Microbiology#Biomarkers#McGillUniversity
A developer of electronic health data tools and a university's neuroscience labs are collaborating on tests of Parkinson's disease drugs using digital measures of patient functioning.
IMI project result: our eTRANSAFE project has developed an 'app' to make it easier for researchers to analyse which #biomarkers are being used in which #clinical studies.

Digital Biomarkers Shown to Highlight Parkinson’s Disease
Early findings indicate calculations from MRI scans of white matter lesions in the brain can distinguish between Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions.
