Our EIC Pathfinder project, NEUREKA, is featured on the CORDIS website of the European Commission in the ‘Results in Brief’ section!

This publication highlights our work on intelligent drug discovery using hybrid neural computing devices. NEUREKA’s innovative system combines living neurons with a simulated network, offering a more realistic environment for testing potential drugs. This is a significant step forward for NEUREKA, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to share our findings with a wider audience.

NEUREKA Consortium convened in the city of Heraklion, Crete, for a productive two-day meeting on May 27th and 28th, 2024. There were collaborative discussions, presentations, and brainstorming sessions, emphasizing the NEUREKA project’s significance and scientific outcomes, leading to the final review meeting.

Beyond all the WP presentations, a highlight of the meeting was a visit to the Poirazi Lab in IMBB, FORTH. Here, the consortium members had the chance of discussing with the lab experimentalists.

Going beyond the realm of science, the consortium enjoyed a fascinating guided tour of Knossos, the historic Minoan palace complex.

 

The successful meeting in Crete has boosted our teamwork and our confidence for future breakthroughs.


NEUREKA consortium partners LAAS-CNRS recently published a new article in  Small Journal about their work in NEUREKA.

Guilhem Larrieu and co-workers demonstrate the development of an in vitro bio platform for real-time monitoring of neuronal electrical activity and localized pH changes, with a proof-of-concept study showing the effect of Amyloid beta oligomers on neuronal firing without altering pH values.
