A GRID-BASED e-INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DATA ARCHIVING/ COMMUNICATION AND COMPUTATIONALLY INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCES An FP7 EC-funded project (2008-11)

neuGRID will be a new user-friendly Grid-based research e-Infrastructure enabling the European neuroscience community to carry out research required for the pressing study of degenerative brain diseases. In neuGRID, the collection/archiving of large amounts of imaging data will be paired with computationally intensive data analyses. Neuroscientists will be able to identify neurodegenerative disease markers through the analysis of 3D magnetic resonance brain images via the provision of sets of distributed medical and Grid services.
