News

Christmas greetings from Sano Dear Friends, what a year 2020 has been! Shortly after having jump-started Sano, we faced the most significant health challenge of our times and seems like we have survived stronger and more focused on what Sano can deliver. We want to thank You for your trust and the excellent collaboration over…

Towards dynamic total-body metabolic and positronium imaging, Studies of positronium and microvesicles biomarkers

Events, Seminars

Abstract During the positron emission tomography about 40% of positrons annihilations occur through the creation of positronium (an atom composed of an electron from tissue and a positron emitted by a radioisotope). Positronium decays in the patient body are sensitive to the nanostructure and metabolism of the tissues. This phenomenon is not used in the…

The Communication System in Living Organism

Events, Seminars

Abstract The communication system is part of strategies employed by living organisms on a molecular level. The information storage and management is of high importance in keeping the steady state called homeostasis. The information consumption to achieve the required effect has been solved by evolution for random actions as well as for highly specific processes.…

Management of emerging technologies

Events, Seminars

Abstract Managing emerging technologies is a challenging task since it needs to deal with a number of uncertainties. These concern the assessment of future technology paths, future technological and economic potential, future markets in terms of needs and competition, and the development of framework conditions. Suitable tools for reducing such uncertainties are a key requirement…

Exploring Complex Interactions in Bacterial Biofilms and Colonies – An In-Silico Approach

Events, Seminars

Abstract Biofilms are macroscopic structures emerging from microscopic interactions of bacteria and their environment. These structures harbor antibiotic resistant bacteria and prevent proper elimination of the bacterial population during drug treatments. To design optimal treatment strategies, a proper understanding of the development of biofilm structures is necessary. The mechanisms behind the spontaneous formation of cap…

Towards Exascale-ready Ecosystems

Events, Seminars

Abstract As the age of exascale computers approaches, it is time to deliver appropriate software solutions to enable future exascale applications. The EU-funded PROCESS project is such an approach, bringing together leading experts in high-performance computing and data management. The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive, mature and modular service-based set of…

Introduction to clustering in medicine

Events, Seminars

Abstract This talk will familiarize attendees with several clustering methods in the context of medicine. This kind of unsupervised algorithms are used for finding homogeneous groups (clusters) of objects. Samples forming one group should be similar to each other but different between other clusters. Such methods are successfully used in the field of medicine and…
