Progetti di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale (PRIN)

Composition of the Consortium composed of four main organizations.

Modelling and vErification of alkaptonuria and multiple sclerosis Driven by biomedICAl data (MEDICA)

The goal of this project is to bridge the gap between data, models and validation, integrating the data-driven and model-driven research directions, so that to develop next generation modelling and analysis approaches for biomedical investigations.

We are developing the MEDICA framework, which combines three analysis phases: (1) extracting existing knowledge from integrated datasets, that will feed into (2) building multilevel mechanistic models, which will then go through (3) validation and model checking.

Biomedical research needs are the driving force of the project. We are tackling open research questions for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Alkaptonuria (AKU), for which we have world-leading experts in our consortium.
