Genomic Proteomic and Electrical Brain Signals Integration Towards the
Multiscale Functional Monitoring and CNS Pathology
The human brain and nervous system comprise the most complex organ
in the human body. Hundreds of billions of nerve cells, each one connected
to up to ten thousand others, make possible complex functions as perception,
learning, or memory. Nowadays, researchers have a very good idea of how these
nerve cells communicate with each other, however, still a long way from understanding
completely how they interact in the nervous system. Diseases of the nervous system
constitute an ever-greater medical problem, as they affect many millions of people
of all ages, in all nations, in all walks of life. Neuroscience is a highly
interdisciplinary research area, making possible the integration of methods
like Genomic, Proteomic and Electrical Brain Signals, towards a better
understanding of the normal and pathophysiological processes in the nervous system.
The great challenge of modern neuroscience is to develop new personalized approaches
for treatment of neurological disorders.
Anastasios Bezerianos is Professor of Medical Physics
in Medical School of Patras University, Greece. He has studied Physics
in Patras University and Telecommunications in Athens University and
he received his Ph.D. form Patras Medical School. He has in permanent
base, cooperation with research centers and university institutes in Japan,
USA and Europe and he is Associate Editor of IEEE TNSRE journal and reviewer
in numerous international scientific journals of IEEE and IFMBE and of other
scientific societies.
His research interests focused in Mathematical Models of Biological Systems,
Biomedical Signal and Processing, Bioinformatics, are specialized on:
(a) nonlinear time series analysis, (b) wavelets in biomedical image
denoising and pattern recognition, (c) computational intelligence solutions
in genomics and proteomics. The techniques developed have been applied in
(a) modeling cardiovascular system and brain computer interfaces and
(b) providing advanced solution in postgenomics molecular biology and
medicine problems.
He is founder and Chairman of the biannual International Summer School
on Emerging Technologies in Biomedicine.
His research activities are summarized in 3 books and over 200 scientific
publications in peer review journals and conference proceedings.
