31 Aug 2022EBRAINS welcomes Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales as new associate member
EBRAINS is pleased to announce that the Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales (FiHM) – a non-profit organization in Spain with the objective of leading biomedical research and development – has joined the EBRAINS AISBL as an associate member.
The membership went into effect on 31 August 2022. It will give FiHM the opportunity to co-design future iterations of EBRAINS’ cutting-edge tools and services. These state-of-the-art capabilities – which cover data sharing, atlasing, modelling, simulation, high-performance computing, and neurorobotics – aim to help European researchers to address major challenges in brain health, benefiting from insights into data science, brain organization, and artificial intelligence gathered from the EU Flagship Human Brain Project.
Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales is a non-profit organization, established in 2003 with the fundamental objective of leading biomedical R&D, within the framework of translational research, which directly benefits the patient and society both in the treatment of diseases and in health care, with the aim of making Personalized Medicine a reality.
Neuroscientific activity within FiHM is represented by Centro Integral de Neurociencias AC (HM CINAC), which will offer high level expertise in neurodegenerative mechanisms and some special techniques used in humans and models such as focused ultrasound.
“EBRAINS will facilitate access and contact with a large number of resources and high level collaborations which is always a very welcome addition to a highly specialized center as HMCINAC”
HMCINAC Director
"We are delighted to welcome Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales to EBRAINS. It brings extensive experience in promoting and managing the development of biomedical research and innovation projects to benefit patients. Fundación de Investigación HM Hospitales will be a valuable partner in the clinical application of new technologies and tools for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of brain-related diseases.”
CEO of Ebrians
