Partners presentation

The INFOGENMED Consortium is integrated by three universities (UPM, Aveiro/IEETA and Linkoping) with different backgrounds, expertise and interests, a national health institution (Carlos III) and an industrial partner (GENOMICA). We aimed at establishing a multinational working group that, based on previous expertise and achievements in the area (reported in many conferences and journal papers) is able to carry out practical design and development of concrete methods and tools.

	Partner	Country	Role/Profile
	IEETA, University of Aveiro	Portugal	UA / IEETA participates as project coordinator and in some of the technical tasks. It has carried out similar tasks in other national and EC-funded projects.
	Departamento Inteligencia Artificial, Facultad de Informatica, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid	Spain	UPM is a leading university in Spain in engineering and applied informatics. They will be the leaders of the design and implementation of the tools presented in this proposal. They have successfully carried out similar tasks for national projects in the past. They provide expertise in Medical Informatics to the consortium, with many models and tools created and implemented for healthcare.
	Health Bioinformatics Unit, Instituto de Salud Carlos III	Spain	ISCIII is the national institute of health of Spain. It has a large number of biomedical researchers and practitioners, including a hospital which is located at the main campus of the institution in Madrid. ISCIII has participated in numerous genomic activities and coordinates the analysis of genetic tests for all the Spanish hospitals. In addition, ISCIII provides to the consortium the expertise in Bioinformatics and clinical applications of genomics.
	Department of Biomedical Engineering, Linkoepings Universitet	Sweden	Linkoping provides expertise and background in Biomedical Engineering and Bioinformatics. The researchers involved in this proposal have been involved in numerous national and EC-funded projects in telematics in healthcare during the last decade.
	Genomica, Grupo Stab	Portugal	GENOMICA is a young company created two years ago to explore and transfer to a wide range of users the latest developments in genomics and genetics, having as main targets research and clinical areas.
