FORTH and COLUMBIA Researchers pinpoint the cells that control the brain's memory flowThe laboratories of Dr. Attila Losonczy (http://www.losonczylab.org/) at Columbia University in New York and Dr.Yiota Poirazi (www.dendrites.gr) at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of FORTH, joined forces in order to explain how neurons flexibly lay down or recall memories. The study, which was recently published in the scientific journal Neuron, is the first to provide visual evidence that a particular type of neurons –the so called VIP interneurons- makes this flexibility possible.

A Cloud based platform for clinical decision support to the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD)The Department of Biomedical Research of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology – Foundation of Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH-IMBB-BR) participates in the SMARTool project funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program with approximately € 5 M. The project started on January 2016 and is currently on month 37, from a total duration of 42 months.
