Computational Horizons In Cancer (CHIC): Developing Meta- and Hyper-Multiscale Models and Repositories for In Silico Oncology (CHIC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
Developing robust, reproducible, interoperable and collaborative hyper-models of diseases and normal physiology is a sine qua non necessity if rational, coherent and comprehensive exploitation of the invaluable information hidden within human multiscale biological data is envisaged. Responding to this imperative in the context of both the broad Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) initiative and the ...

Real Time Simulation for Safer vascular Stenting (RT3S)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
Vascular stenting is an invasive procedure for the treatment of occlusive vascular diseases; a small wire mesh tube called a stent is permanently placed in the artery or vein to help it remain open. The procedure is called angioplasty. Originally developed to treat sever occlusions of coronary arteries, thanks to its good results, stenting found an expanding indication also for the treatment of o ...

VPHOP-SIMBIOS cooperation: Tools to develop the NeuroMusculoSkeletal Physiome (NMS Physiome)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
The musculoskeletal apparatus is probably the organ system where the need for the integrative approach advocated by the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) initiative is most pronounced. The neuromotor control involves the entire body, whereas the processes involved in muscle twitching, bones and muscle adaptation, musculoskeletal aging, and in most musculoskeletal diseases take place at the molecul ...

Multiscale Spatiotemporal Visualisation: development of an open-source software library for the interactive visualisation of multiscale biomedical data (MSV)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
In recent years, various terms – the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH), Integrative Biology, Physiome Research – have been used to describe the trend in biomedical research towards the consideration of systemic processes. These phenomena are commonly observed in living organisms but cannot be explained within a single sub-system but reflect, rather, systemic outcomes that result from the interacti ...

Osteoporotic Virtual Physiological Human (VPHOP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Nearly four million osteoporotic bone fractures cost the European health system more than 30 billion Euro per year. This figure could double by 2050. After the first fracture, the chances of having another one increase by 86%. We need to prevent osteoporotic fractures. The first step is an accurate prediction of the patient-specific risk of fracture that considers not only the skeletal determin ...

Virtual Pathological Heart of the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH2)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
Heart failure accounts for almost a quarter of all admissions to hospital for cardiovascular events, has a high mortality (median survival around 18 months), and places a great burden on all healthcare systems, with estimated direct costs of £905m (?1350m) in the United Kingdom in 2000, 2% of total NHS expenditure.VPH2 aims to develop a patient-specific computational modelling and simulation of th ...

Future and Emerging Technologies for the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH-FET)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
The Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) is an initiative, supported by the European Commission, to create a computational framework to facilitate the understanding of the integrative function of molecules, cells, tissues, and organisms and, by this, to construct a multiscale in silico model of the human physiology.Specific Calls within Framework 7 have addressed the VPH, and the first set of VPH pro ...

GPU-Assisted Massive Volume Data Visualisation (GAMVolVis)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
High-resolution medical volume data (containing billions of voxels) is used in many clinical applications. However, interactive visualisation of gigabyte-sized volumes on a desktop PC is challenging, due to the heavy computation and the memory consumption. In recent years, the graphics processing unit (GPU) has evolved at an increasing pace, and tremendous improvements have been achieved in its ca ...
