The Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience, Germany, is a funding initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research that supports the development of this field in Germany. Understanding the brain is the prerequisite for creating new methods for prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. It may also help developing new strategies for learning and teaching. It may even be used for the design of new, ''intelligent'' technical devices, such as neuroprostheses or more powerful computer systems. For investigating the brain, the interdisciplinary approach of computational neuroscience, in which experts in biology, physics, psychology, medicine, mathematics and engineering join forces, holds especially promising perspectives. By combining experiment, data analysis, theoretical modelling and computer simulations, computational neuroscience allows translating basic research to targeted applications. The Bernstein Network currently comprises more than 200 research groups at over 20 locations all over Germany. It entertains partnerships with more than 20 companies. Besides its research activities, the network offers attractive teaching and training options for young researchers. A large number of open positions are available, ranging from PhD students positions up to professorships. Keywords: grant, funding, resource, training, job, research, Network, Scientist, Teaching, biology, physics, psychology, medicine, mathematics, engineering, Computational, Neuroscience, Computational Neuroscience, Germany,

Database of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological information on humans and other organisms and integration through computational modeling. Models include everything from diagrammatic schema, suggesting relationships among elements composing a system, to fully quantitative, computational models describing the behavior of physiological systems and an organism''s response to environmental change. Each mathematical model is an internally self-consistent summary of available information, and thereby defines a working hypothesis about how a system operates. Predictions from such models are subject to test, with new results leading to new models.BR /> A Tool developed for the NSR Physiome project is JSim, an open source, free software. JSim is a Java-based simulation system for building quantitative numeric models and analyzing them with respect to experimental reference data. JSim''s primary focus is in physiology and biomedicine, however its computational engine is quite general and applicable to a wide range of scientific domains. JSim models may intermix ODEs, PDEs, implicit equations, integrals, summations, discrete events and procedural code as appropriate. JSim''s model compiler can automatically insert conversion factors for compatible physical units as well as detect and reject unit unbalanced equations. JSim also imports the SBML and CellML model archival formats. All JSim models are open source. Goals of the Physiome Project: - To develop and database observations of physiological phenomenon and interpret these in terms of mechanism (a fundamentally reductionist goal). - To integrate experimental information into quantitative descriptions of the functioning of humans and other organisms (modern integrative biology glued together via modeling). - To disseminate experimental data and integrative models for teaching and research. - To foster collaboration amongst investigators worldwide, to speed up the discovery of how biological systems work. - To determine the most effective targets (molecules or systems) for therapy, either pharmaceutic or genomic. - To provide information for the design of tissue-engineered, biocompatible implants.

Over recent years, the European Commission has supported an increasing number of functional genomics projects focusing on the use of the laboratory mouse as a model of human disease. (see http://www.prime-eu.org/euromouseiiprojects.htm for a fuller listing of current and recent projects). CASIMIR (Coordination and Sustainability of International Mouse Informatics Resources: http://www.casimir.org.uk) is aimed at recommending standards to allow data sharing and integration between the different projects. CASIMIR spans a number of areas: data representation (in particular the use of shared ontologies), non-semantic, technical issues concerning database compatibility and interoperability, data acquisition, curation and ownership, integration of biological collections and material resources into the data network, and user interactions. As part of the CASIMIR initiative i-mouse.org was created as a common portal to CASIMIR and other resources we hope will be helpful for investigators using the mouse as a model system for humans or systems biologists and geneticists using the mouse as an experimental system. ontology; metadata;

TOPPCAT stands for T-One weighted Perfusion imaging Parameter CAlculation Toolkit. TOPPCAT creates quantitative maps of Ktrans (volume transfer constant between blood plasma and the extravascular extracellular space) and fPV (fractional plasma volume) from dynamic T1-weighted perfusion images. At the current time, analysis using the method of Patlak plots (most appropriate for first pass dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging) is supported. As a preliminary step for the parameter calculation, TOPPCAT also creates maps of T1 and S0 (equilibrium magnetization) from multi-flip angle T1-weighted SPGR (or FLASH) sequences.Daniel P. Barboriak, James R. MacFall, Anthony O. Padua,Gerald E. York, Benjamin L. Viglianti, and Mark W. Dewhirst. Standardized software for calculation of Ktrans and vp from dynamic T1-weighted MR images.

Research in the Department of Pharmacology focuses on three major areas: 1) cardiovascular science 2) cell signaling 3) cancer biology and therapeutics. Within those areas, research ranges from basic biological problems to those with clinical orientations. The cardiovascular science research strives to understand the normal and abnormal functioning of the heart at the molecular, cellular and organ levels, and is exceptionally strong in cardiac electrophysiology and the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmia. The cell signaling research concerns regulation of cell function by extracellular factors, the molecular biology of signaling pathways, cell communication, and intracellular proteolysis. The cancer biology and therapeutics research is focused on molecular mechanisms regulating cell death and survival in human malignancies, development and testing of novel cancer therapeutics, novel tumor markers, oncogenic transformation and apoptosis, regulation of tumor suppressors and molecular mechanisms of leukemogensis. The Pharmacology Department has multiple research grants for the next five years. Most of the funding comes from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with additional funding from the Association for International Cancer Research, the American Society of Hematology, the Department of Defense and the American Heart Association.
