Collaborative
Research Projects
Collaborative
research constitutes an essential activity of the BMSR since, through
these collaborations, the in-house expertise in biomedical simulations
finds challenging testing grounds that are necessary for its evolution,
while at the same time it is disseminated in a most effective manner.
This process also assists in the formation of an interactive community
of users of the Resource, which is also one of the basic goals of the
BMSR. Since the inception of the BMSR we have collaborated
with 60 biomedical investigators world-wide. The following are our
current Collaborative Projects.
