BIRN |
Biomedical Informatics Research
Network |
|
Countries involved: |
USA |
| SYNOPSIS |
A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-National
Center for Research Resources (NCRR)-sponsored initiative, which is
establishing a distributed information technology infrastructure to
improve biomedical research. This "cyberinfrastructure"
will enable researchers throughout the United States to collaborate
on large-scale studies of human disease with unique, multi-resolution
tools. |
| TESTBED |
Three Projets de bancs d'essai are conducting
structural and functional studies of neurological disease:
Function BIRN - studying regional brain dysfunctions related to the
progression and treatment of schizophrenia.
Morphometry BIRN - examining unipolar depression, mild Alzheimer's
disease and mild cognitive impairment.
Mouse BIRN - studying animal models of multiple sclerosis, schiziphrenia,
Parkinson's disease, ADHD, Tourette's disorder, brain cancer. |
