To simulate the brain to predict behaviour in health and disease – this is a tagline of this year edition of hackathon organized by Brain and Behaviour Lab, and proudly supported by – among the others - Sano Science.  

As leader of the Research Team for Modelling and Simulations at Sano Science, Dr Zbigniew R. Struzik plays an integrating role in theoretical and applied science.

Could be a better beginning of the New Year than the new publication by one of the Sano Team Leaders? 

Despite COVID-19 is still making headlines, Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common ailments in our aging society. New approaches for diagnosis and treatment are emerging, especially specific to certain brain regions. it’s very relevant to understand the ties between this disease pathology, brain connections and genetics.

In collaboration with Professor Irena Roterman-Konieczna from the Jagiellonian University Medical College and Professor Katarzyna Stąpor from the Silesian University of Technology, the Sano team – Krzysztof Gądek, Tomasz Gubała and Piotr Nowakowski – developed an online tool called HPHOB – a protein hydrophobicity calculator.

Sano Centre has started cooperation with NeuroTechX community by establishing a local chapter NeuroTechKRK in Kraków, Poland.  

On 1st December will be another edition of neuromatch - a conference for the computational neuroscience community. The first time there is a possibility to join in Kraków!

Sano Centre together with Brain and Behaviour Lab decided to create a new activity: NEUROPIZZA.

We are happy to welcome on board Dr Jose Sousa, PhD!

Sano, the new Centre for Personalised Computational Medicine in Krakow, is expected to become a major European hub providing cutting edge computational technologies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease (e.g. clinical decision support systems, virtual models of the human patient or early phase clinical trials).

In October we happily welcomed new members of Sano Centre. 8 new people enforced #SanoTeam. Please meet them all!

It is great to announce that Aneta has joined Sano Centre as Senior Postdoc. Her main scientific interest is working with wearable sensors to detect health conditions and monitor patients’ wellbeing.

On October, 27th we will lunch Sano Meetup series. As Sano Science we created an umbrella page at Meetup for events related to OpenScience, Neurotech, DIY-Bio. We want to promote and organize events from live hacking to scientific conferences and create at the same time a space for undergrad students to help them to connect with researchers and companies of the field.  

Maciej Malawski has over 20 years of experience in research in parallel and distributed computing, high performance computing (HPC), grid and cloud technologies, serverless and container-based infrastructures.  

Students of professor Maciej Malawski, leader of one of the Sano Centre research groups, have succeeded. Filip Ślazyk and Przemysław Jabłecki took 3rd place in the engineering thesis competition that accompanied the KKIO Software Engineering Conference 2021. 

We are happy to announce that Sano Centre & Quantum AI Foundation has become an Honorary Partners and began a partnership.

Transhumanism – lecture and debate on the 40th anniversary of the Polish Information Society with the participation of Sano Centre. 

Dr Arkadiusz Sitek has been appointed the President of the Management Board and Director of Sano – Centre for Computational Medicine in Krakow since the beginning of 2021. From the 1990s, he developed a scientific career at Canadian and American universities, institutes, in an international companies and corporations. After more than a quarter of a century, he decided to return to Poland, to create Sano – Centre for Computational Medicine.

XXII KKIO Software Engineering Conference will be organized online from Krakow on 21-22 September 2021. One of the Keynotes Speakers at forthcoming edition will be Dr Arkadiusz Sitek. Director of Sano Centre will give his speech on the second day of the conference. 

Dr Arkadiusz Sitek will take part in the 4th Radiological-Clinical Conference entitled "Artificial intelligence in medicine - opportunities and threats for imaging diagnostics". The director of the Sano Centre will deliver a lecture entitled "Implementation of artificial intelligence in the work modes of radiologists".
