Meeting of COST action "Open Multiscale Systems Medicine" in Skopje
Multiscale systems medicine assumes that the growing amounts of highly diverse (multiscale) data relevant to human health and disease are the key to address current and future medical challenges. Transforming these data into effective and economical medical solutions requires appropriate means for multiscale data modelling, integration and analysis.
The second meeting of COST action took place in Skopje (Republic of Macedonia) at the end of October 2016 where Egils Stalidzans represented the Institute.
Multiscale systems medicine assumes that the growing amounts of highly diverse (multiscale) data relevant to human health and disease are the key to address current and future medical challenges. Transforming these data into effective and economical medical solutions requires appropriate means for multiscale data modelling, integration and analysis.
The unique concept and ambition of the OpenMultiMed Action rests on three pillars: (1) A transdisciplinary strategy in which medical researchers, mathematical modellers, data scientist, and computer scientists work jointly using a shared conceptual framework and combined disciplinary-specific approaches. (2) A strong focus on multiscaleness across systems medicine, multiscale modelling, multiscale data science and multiscale computing. (3) An open-scienceapproach, making scientific research, data and dissemination in multiscale systems medicine accessible to all levels of an inquiring European and international society.
