A team led by the late Prof Piotr Bała, as part of the HEAP – Human Exposome Assessment Platform project funded by Horizon 2020, has developed a novel tool for rapid HPV viral sequence detection. The paper entitled “HPV-KITE: sequence analysis software for rapid HPV genotype detection”, whose first author is Dr Marek Nowicki from […]
The National Science Centre has awarded MAESTRO grants to experienced researchers. Seven applications received funding, including the research project of Prof. Dr. hab. Piotr Andrzej Gwiazda, which will be carried out at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling at the University of Warsaw.
We invite you to an open lecture by Dr. Jeffrey Burgdorf from Northwestern University, titled “New Horizons in the Analysis of Time Series: From Neurons to Behaviors”. The lecture is organized as part of a mentoring visit under the Excellence Initiative – Research University program (Action I.1.1/IV.1.1 “Mentor Program”).
An article by Dr. Miron Kursa from ICM UW titled “Vistla: identifying influence paths with information theory” has been published in Bioinformatics. It describes the Vistla algorithm, which is used for analyzing data from observations of complex systems, particularly those found in living organisms, studied through high-throughput molecular methods.
In mid-December, series of meetings for the MOSAIC project were held in Warsaw, bringing together three project partners: the African Conservation Centre (ACC), the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling at the University of Warsaw (ICM UW). The project, titled “Multi-site application of Open Science in the creAtion of healthy environments Involving local Communities (MOSAIC),” involves a total of 15 institutions from around the world and is funded by the Horizon Europe program: Environment and Health – Planetary Health.
For several years, ICM University of Warsaw has been actively involved in the construction and operation of the network at the most significant annual event in high-performance computing (HPC). This year, the November conference “The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis” (SC24) took place in Atlanta.
ICM (Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling) has received funding from Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) for the project titled “System for Optimization of Current Operations of Combined Sewer and Stormwater Networks for Extreme Events (SOBEK).”
A paper titled “Spatio-temporal mechanisms of consolidation, recall and reconsolidation in reward-related memory trace” by researchers from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences (IBD PAN), and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw (ICM UW), has been published in the prestigious journal “Molecular Psychiatry.” The scientists discovered how the brain organizes and consolidates reward-related memories. The results have practical significance for addiction research.
ICM UW, together with ACK Cyfronet AGH and WASKO S.A., will build a cloud infrastructure that will enable the implementation of R&D work conducted according to the Open Science paradigm. The infrastructure will be developed as part of the project “National Cloud Infrastructure PLGrid for EOSC – PLGrid ICON” funded by the National Recovery Plan. A significant part of the investment will be the purchase of new cloud clusters, which will be launched at the ICM UW Data Center in Warsaw.
During the June AI & MEDTECH CEE conference, a new report titled “Top Disruptors in Healthcare – A Review of Medical Start-ups in Poland and Central Europe” was presented. Both initiatives have been supported by the patronage of ICM UW for four years. This year’s list includes 194 companies, including Smarter Diagnostics – a spin-off from the University of Warsaw, originating from the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM UW).
