FORTH-ICS hosts workshop that launches the cooperation with Naval GroupThe workshop between Naval Group and the Institute of Computer Science (FORTH-ICS) was concluded today, Thursday, June 24, 2021 in the premises of Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas in Heraklion, Crete.

Less metals, more X-rays!A recent article published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, led by Dr. Kostas Kouroumpatzakis, of the Institute of Astrophysics at the Foundation for Research and Technology, Hellas (IA-FORTH), and the University of Crete, provides new insights into the connection between the X-ray luminosity of accreting black holes and neutron stars and the composition of the stellar populations they are associated with. This research was conducted at the Institute of Astrophysics of FORTH and the University of Crete.

Call for admission for the Master of Science (MSc) programme for the academic year 2021-2022. The Medical School, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Materials Science and Technology of the University of Crete, the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Technical University of Crete, and the Foundation for Research and Technology -Hellas (FORTH) are jointly organize the Postgraduate Program in "Biomedical Engineering" in the framework of the Law 4485/2017 (Government Gazette 1122B '/2-4-2020), which leads to a MSc Diploma in "Biomedical Engineering".

Discovery of a new Protein, playing a key role in cell function, paves the way for new therapiesResearch carried out at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology-FORTH and published today in Nature Communications (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23505-1) provides evidence that the XAB2 protein functionally links persistent DNA damage with the core spliceosome and the processing of R-loops highlighting the functional links between genome maintenance and the splicing machinery in development or disease.
