Meet a user: Dr John Prior
Meet a user: Dr John Prior CERN-MEDICIS produces radionuclides which can be used to treat different kinds of oncological, cardiological and neurological diseases. Dr John Prior is Head of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV). He has been involved in the MEDICIS project since it began. Dr Prior explains, “The

Meet the users: Ramon & Claudia
Meet the users: Ramon & Claudia TIMEPIX@school brings particle detector kits developed from CERN technology to students – enabling them to explore the invisible world of radiation. It provides a unique opportunity for students to conduct hands-on experiments in the classroom with the same detectors currently used at CERN, in space, in hospitals and in

Meet a user: Dr Donat Agosti
Meet a user: Dr Donat Agosti Zenodo is an open-access repository that allows researchers to share the results of their work for free. Biologist Dr Donat Agosti manages the Biodiversity Literature Repository on the platform. A key part of biodiversity research is comparing species, which requires having unambiguous and identifiable names. In the past, this meant going to a library

Meet a user: Dr Nicolo Cognò
Meet a user: Dr Nicolo Cognò Project: Biology Dynamics Modeller (BioDynaMo) User: Dr Nicolò Cogno, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital Biology Dynamics Modeller (BioDynaMo) can be used to study complex systems by simulating the behaviour of billions of cells. Dr Nicolò Cogno has used the technology to research cancer treatment. BioDynaMo is an agent-based model, which allows a

Meet the project: Zenodo
Meet the project: Zenodo Did you know that following the release of scientific results, data is rarely shared between researchers? Often, it is too big or complex to find a home in traditional publication chains, preventing researchers from drawing the full benefit from the results of public research and leading to a duplication of research

Meet the project: TIMEPIX@school
Meet the project: TIMEPIX@school TIMEPIX@school is a pioneering initiative which brings CERN technology into schools, giving students the opportunity to explore the invisible world of radiation and cosmic rays using equipment derived from real CERN research. The project is built around the Timepix detector chip – a device originally developed through the Medipix Collaborations at

Meet the project: CERN-MEDICIS
Meet the project: CERN-MEDICIS Innovative ideas and technologies from physics have contributed to great advances in the field of medicine over the last 100 years, since the advent of radiation-based medical diagnosis and treatment and following the discovery of X-rays and radioactivity. CERN-MEDICIS(Medical Isotopes Collected from ISOLDE) is an initiative that focuses on leveraging CERN’s cutting-edge technologies for

Innovation: how to Make It Matter
Innovation: how to Make It Matter By supporting this special campaign, you help carry innovations building on CERN’s legacy into classrooms, hospitals, and communities. Together, we can make science matter where it’s needed most. Barbara Solich, CERN & Society Foundation Head Technology never stands still – and neither does innovation. At the CERN & Society Foundation, Innovation
