PS3GRID Live: we can carry out computational biomedical calculations on our Playstation 3 with a pen drive
The project PS3GRID Live is coordinated by Gianni de Fabritiis, (GRIB researcher) with the collaboration of Matt Harvey researcher at the Imperial College of London as well as Jordi Villà and Giovanni Giuponni, both researchers at the GRIB Laboratory Computational Biochemical and Biophysics. They have set up a platform at www.ps3grid.net, that will allow those interested to put their own videogame console at the disposal of high-level international science.
The GRIB, BAPP, NEUROPHAR and IAT research groups hosted last 19th November a meeting about the European Initiative IMI.
The GRIB, BAPP, NEUROPHAR and IAT research groups hosted last 19th November a meeting on the PRBB premises about the European Initiative IMI (Innovative Medicines Initiative). This event was mainly addressed to the industry, especially the pharmaceutical sector, and intended to offer an update of the IMI European initiative with emphasis on the potential it offers to establish collaboration among companies and academic institutions such as GRIB, NEUROPHAR, BAPP and IAT.
In this context, we aimed at showing how research undertaken in these PRBB centres could fit into the priorities that IMI will fund.
