environMENTAL is a project focused on managing, utilizing and enriching data effectively. Work Package 12 (WP12) is specifically responsible for the data management aspect of this project, ensuring that all research data and software generated within the project are managed according to the FAIR principles, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. This involves setting up a data management plan, providing a standardized and secure data infrastructure, managing the framework to utilize geospatial data, and developing a central meta-database to support the findability and accessibility of all data. The data infrastructure is built upon the cloud infrastructure at the Digital Health Center of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at Charitรฉ. WP12's efforts ensure that data is safely stored, accessible to the consortium and the scientific community, and compliant with legal frameworks and GDPR.

This month the environMENTAL project held a hybrid Summer School on environmental and computational neuroscience, hosted by Aix-Marseille University. Over 19,000 online and 30 in-person participants took part over the two days. Thank you to all of our speakers and participants for taking part!

Introducing Work Package 7  

Title: Mechanistic investigations and drug discovery 

Lead: Karen Schmitt, Ksilink What are the aims of WP7?

WP7 develops a multidisciplinary approach to drug discovery and disease modeling.  

WP7 aims to develop advanced human derived-cellular models that reflect key molecular mechanisms underlying cognition, behavior, and neurological diseases. To do this we generate cellular models including brain organoids โ€“ a miniaturized and simplified version of the brain. We will assess and validate the impacts of stressing specific pathways in these in-vitro models.   

This paves the way for innovative treatments and improving the lives of individuals affected by neuropsychiatric disorders.
