Creating speech neuroprostheses, or devices that can help restore the ability to speak to people who have lost it due to neurological damage or disorder is extremely important because it can greatly improve the quality of life for these individuals. Despite this, there has not been a widely successful solution to this issue yet because […]

The general objective of this project is to identify unbiased and objective plasma metabolomics signatures of milk and cheese consumption. We will leverage data and stored, unthawed, plasma samples from 4 high quality randomized, crossover, feeding trials (RCTs) and 1 cohort of 200 free-living adults (eMECA) that were conducted or implemented at INAF research center […]

Brain wave technologies allow researchers and clinicians to monitor the brain at work. Our team has developed a new technology that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to provide an online record of different brain functions in a very short period of time. The brain waves recorded by this technology may change normally as time passes and previous […]

Le contexte de la pandémie de COVID-19 a soulevé trois défis organisationnels : la récupération de la performance à la suite de la perte de productivité générée par la COVID-19, l’accélération des processus d’innovation visant à surmonter les obstacles liés à la pandémie et assurer un avantage compétitif à long terme; et la protection de […]

The near-infrared imaging is a technique widely used in many medical applications, such as tissue imaging and non-invasive imaging of lymphatic systems. The market was estimated to be USD 950 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% to 2028. The conventional near-infrared system commonly employed is […]

Social determinants of health, including factors such as social isolation, food insecurity, and income, play a big part in our health. To account for these important social factors, some healthcare organizations have begun to adopt a strategy called social prescribing which involves regularly asking people if they need help with social determinant of health issues […]

Lower limb prosthesis users typically wear a silicone liner on their residual limb, which is the interface between their body and the prosthetic socket. Knowing the in-socket pressure distribution is extremely beneficial in ensuring proper socket fit and thus better gait and higher quality of life for amputees, considering the need of amputees for a […]

Ce projet vise à mettre au point de nouvelles méthodes d’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer la détection de chutes à l’aide d’un radar. L’utilisation d’un radar permet la détection de chutes dans un domicile tout en protégeant la vie privée des personnes grâce à l’absence de prise d’image et ne nécessite aucun capteur porté. Cela permet […]

We will harness the power of Mirametrix eye-tracking technology to offer a viable means of probing internal mental processes that were previously intractable without more expensive or invasive techniques. Through the innovative application of popular statistical methods and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, we will produce a software plug-in capable of online and offline pupil size […]

Influenza viruses circulate widely in human populations and cause seasonal respiratory infections. However, the true reservoir host for influenza viruses are birds, and periodic spillover events from birds to livestock and humans can introduce new influenza viruses with pandemic potential into the human population; the most recent example was the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. We seek […]

Nucleic acid-based therapies such as DNA and siRNA has equipped us with the freedom to customize in our battle against specific cancers and other diseases. Especially the non-viral approach to deliver the therapeutic nucleic acids in a clinical setting provides a safer alternative to the viral gene therapy systems. However, to achieve a clinically relevant […]

The project is focused on designing and developing a novel point of care analytical device using functional magnetic microparticles that can quantitatively determine the concentration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody and SARS-CoV-2 viruses in human saliva and serum. This approach will allow mass testing in the general population to assess past or current infection. Furthermore, it can […]
