INDRC

The International Neurodegenerative Disorders Research Center (INDRC), is a private, non-profit global research institute established to apply artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions to get better human brain understanding, identify and develop treatments for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The scientific institute was established in 2021 in Prague as an umbrella organization for the Czech R&I ecosystem. The institute aims to build a multidisciplinary technology platform for the development of breakthrough treatments based on the use of AI to process large amounts of data and information about normal function and diseases of the human brain.

INDRC aims to bring together and develop globally fragmented knowledge through fellowship programs of excellence, to provide cutting-edge independent research programs, to build a world-class research scientific community, and to enable technological and therapeutic innovations with real impact on society and humanity.

INDRC acts as the coordinator and the host institution of CLARA. Leader of the Workpagage 1 (Project Management), WP 2 (WP2: Center Management) and RP3 Development of multiscale/cross-modal patient/deep-learning models of AD in the hybrid quantum-classical computing environments.

INDRC is focusing on the following problems:

1. Understanding the complex relationship between the structure and function of the human brain
2. Limited knowledge of the pathogenic pathways that damage or destroy neurons and their connections
3. Lack of applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to study the function and information processing of the healthy and diseased human brain.
4. Special attention is paid to Multiscale and Multimodal Brain Modeling

"As the project coordinator and host organisation, INDRC will play a vital role in organising and managing the research activities. Our main task is to ensure the effective operation of the CLARA Centre of Excellence – from developing the strategic plan and managing research resources to supporting collaboration between academic institutions, clinical centres, SMEs, and non-profit organisations."

"We've been losing ground in the battle against neurodegenerative diseases for far too long. It's time to rethink our scientific, medical, and public health strategies to address these chronic disorders that exact such an emotional and financial toll on so many lives."
