On 16 September, the H2020-funded VirtualBrainCloud project (TVB_Cloud) held its quarterly General Assembly meeting online, summarising recent project developments and discussing upcoming plans. The TVB_Cloud project was launched in early 2019, and is developing a cloud-based platform to support personalised decision-making for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. TVB_Cloud brings together partners based at 17 different institutions, hospitals, companies and organisations, including Alzheimer Europe.
Chaired by Prof. Petra Ritter of Charité University Hospital Berlin, the TVB_Cloud meeting was attended by over 45 project participants. TVB_Cloud workpackage leaders provided brief summaries of ongoing activities on data processing, disease progression models, computational brain simulations, and the software development that underlies these activities. There have been a number of recent publications from the TVB_C consortium, presenting the results of TVB_C research in journals such as Alzheimer's and Dementia, Scientific Reports and GigaScience. TVB_C research has also been presented at a number of workshops and seminars, including a Summer School at McGill University, an Ars Aequi podcast at the University of Vienna, and an online Brain Connectivity workshop. The next General Assembly meeting will be held in December. To find out more about VirtualBrainCloud:
