International Strategic Collaboration KI/KUH och MGB/HMS samt KTH

Important results from the project

The project consisted of three parts. In the first part, Dr. Menichetti from Harvard and Ass. Prof. Paci from Università La Sapienza were affiliated with the Cardio Metabolic Unit. A symposium on "Network Medicine and AI" is planned for Dec. 2025. The second included several EU applications, a WASP application, and a project with KTH and RISE to study multi-morbidity in cardiometabolic diseases. In the third , a network was created between Sahlgrenska, Skåne, and Halland hospitals.

Expected long term effects

The long-term effects of the project are expected to strengthen the competence in computational science and data analysis at Cardio Metabolic Unit. The planned symposium on "Network Medicine and AI" promotes international collaboration. In addition, a network between Sahlgrenska, Skåne and Halland hospitals has been established, creating opportunities for joint research applications and improving regional collaboration in healthcare research.

Approach and implementation

Collaboration with KTH and BWH/HMS has was excellent, and was expanded with RISE and MedInsight. Also, the collaboration with Sahlgrenska and Skåne worked very well. We submitted several applications, two of which are still under assessment. Three were not approved. A problems is the low approval rate of EU grants. Unfortunately, there were no trips to the USA in 2024, but we managed with an annex to KI to fulfill the goal of creating a bridge between the staff from the USA and KI
