Research European and Funded Project

I am the responsible in the following project for machine learning research.

Galatea Project

The research and innovation program, named GALATEA, stands as a pioneering venture targeting infant nutrition through the development of a digital twin of human milk. The program brings together interdisciplinary expertise from computational modeling, bioinformatics, clinical neonatology, experimental lab techniques, and engineered bioreactors for cell culturing, forming a consortium dedicated to advancing our understanding of human milk's complexities. The overarching objective is to create a sophisticated simulation platform that mirrors the intricate composition of human milk, allowing for the formulation of personalized nutrition plans for infants, particularly those born prematurely. GALATEA's innovative spirit extends beyond computational models, encompassing experimental lab work utilizing bioreactors and cutting-edge techniques like metabolomics and proteomics. The program's mobility component facilitates cross-disciplinary learning among participating organizations, fostering collaborative knowledge exchange. Anticipated outcomes include enhanced health outcomes for newborns, a deeper understanding of human milk for the advancement of artificial milk formulations, and the establishment of a robust research community dedicated to neonatal nutrition. GALATEA represents a holistic and innovative approach to the fundamental challenge of infant nutrition, setting new standards for personalized strategies and collaborative interdisciplinary efforts.

PARENT Project

PremAtuRe nEwborn motor and cogNitive impairmenTs: Early diagnosis

PARENT envisions a multidisciplinary approach to challenge early diagnosis of newborn motor/cognitive impairments. PARENT will combine the efforts of a multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial network of several leading European research groups, industry partners, pediatric hospitals and associations to develop an innovative training context for 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) within the framework of European Training Network.

PARENT is an EU-funded project that envisions a multidisciplinary approach to challenge early diagnosis of newborn motor/cognitive impairments. It is part of the European Innovative Training Networks programme, in the form of collaborative European Training Network (a competitively selected joint research training and doctoral programme).
