About

Main aim: Research, education and hospital facilities All in all our vision is fixated on the integration of multidiscipline and multidimensional approaches into a rather focused and unified study of biological systems. Our pipelines are based on genomic and structural datasets, whose size has recently skyrocketed, providing the means to spawn biological insights, whose deciphering may establish the basis for rapid and reliable scientific success.

Solution & Product

Our innovative Research and Educational Programs will help Healthcare Professionals learn how to cope with the new aspects of the 4th digital revolution, and also produce knowledge, in the fields of Precision Medicine and Artificial Intelligence and will provide significant added value to Greece by the production of Clinical Decision Support Systems in Biomedicine.

Innovation & Scalability

Currently there are no CDSS for medical emergencies in the market. The only available alternative is telemedicine, Annual Growth Rate 30-35% for the last triennial Barriers to our Growth Potential: Bureaucracy Funding Lack of personnel specialized in new technologies

Traction & achievements

HYGIEIA spin-offf has been founded in 2018. It has organized 3 Msc and >20 post-graduate educational programs HYGIEIA participates in 2 European Research Programs: 1. REACT: Raise awareness on drug prevention for unaccompanied minors. 2.«Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industry Transformation through Artificial Intelligence Digital Services (Health-Hub)» (Health-Hub)»: https://ied.eu/about/health-hub/partnerships PIC Number: 891154327

Team & Why Us

Co-operation of the spin off with the largest Universities of the country-the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the Agricultural University of Athens and the Ionian University (departments of Microbiology, Genetics and Bioinformatics), established researchers and academics (research, education) HYGIEIA spin-off with The DarkDNA team at the Laboratory of Genetics at the Agricultural University of Athens aim to combine multi-dimensional genomic information, to investigate complex molecular systems, heredity, population genetics and even complex diseases. In fact, the Genetics Laboratory coalesces various fields of state of the art research in genetics into a multidiscipline approach adjusted to meet the needs of the post-Genomic era. Of particular interest is the development of statistical and computational methodologies to analyze high-throughput microarray and sequencing gene expression experiments, genetic mapping and integrate gene expression profiles, agricultural, animal and human genetics, animal biotechnology, molecular markers and complex phenotypic traits. Special emphasis is given on the development of tools to study of protein fold and structure.

Funding Needs

2 layers: 1.research program €130,000: Acquisition of two devices, reagents, wages of researchers, fees for administrative support [funding and support to setup a specialized laboratory for gene handling, cloning, protein expression and purification as well as crystallization and structural analysis. Moreover, we will need to invest in large infrastructure on the computational biology axis (i.e. local (in house) servers and workstation solutions) as well as more advances virtual machines and cloud solutions, which will enable us to pursue successfully competitive grants (via our own grant office) and ongoing research projects] 2.training €50,000: Transinstitutional Postgraduate programs in collaboration with the Medical School of the National Kapodistrian University and fourteen (14) post educational programs in collaboration with the Center for Lifelong Learning of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens: wages of researchers and partners, logistic support, development of digital platform for remote education, secretarial support of programs.
