A grid-based 'Google' to fight neurological disease

Grid computing, long used by physicists and astronomers to crunch masses of data quickly and efficiently, is making the leap into the world of biomedicine. Supported by EU-funding, researchers have networked hundreds of computers to help find treatments for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's. Through the Neugrid project, the pan-European grid computing infrastructure has opened up new channels of research into degenerative neurological disorders and other illnesses, while also holding the promise of quicker and more accurate clinical diagnoses of individual patients. The team call their system the 'Google for brain imaging.'

The Swedish knack for technology

Being home to the Nobel Prize is more than a symbolic nod to great achievements in science and the humanities; Swedish ingenuity continues to drive progress in a range of fields, in particular information and communications technologies (ICT). According to ERAWatch, Sweden is one of the only two EU countries that has managed to surpass the target of 3% of GDP invested in R&D annually. Researchers in Sweden are working on a range of EU-funded ICT projects – from smart electricity metering, through Internet safety to eHealth.
