ai attack and defense for the smart healthcare

the smart healthcare domain utilizing a combination of artificial intelligence ai and medical internet of things devices is undoubtedly transforming the healthcare industry as it can deliver new applications and solutions that benefit patients doctors and hospitals improved treatment cost reduction and faster diagnosis are some of the advantages that smart healthcare brings to healthcare stakeholders first ai can be utilized to efficiently process data for improved disease diagnosis in medical images including liver lesion classification and segmentation brain tumor segmentation breast cancer detection etc besides ai can assist in securing the healthcare system from cybersecurity attacks that target the operation of medical iot devices or sensitive medical data however the common assumption with ai is that the training testing and deployment environment is benign and trustworthy this assumption however does not hold true in general as a matter of fact research in this area has shown that small perturbations in the important features of ai models during training or testing phase can trivially undermine their performance this gives rise to adversarial ai in which attackers can trick healthcare ai models to degrade their diagnostic or cybersecurity detection performance antidote project objective is to create a sustainable european and intersectoral network of organizations working on a joint research programme in the interdisciplinary fields of healthcare ai and cybersecurity the participants will exchange skills and knowledge which will allow them to design and develop concrete mechanisms to evaluate the robustness of ai models and propose novel methods to ensure their secure safe resilient and robust operations in the healthcare domain the outcomes of the antidote project will have a significant benefit for european society while strengthening the collaborative research between the different countries and sectors
political deification theorising from asia

political deificationie the transformation to and treatment of political leaders as divine beingsoccurs in various religious and national contexts in asia and has been understood as instances of messianism custodianship sacred kingship martyrdom pacification and charismatic authority among others these concepts travel intersect and imbue the different political systems in asian countries yet they have been studied only as discrete political phenomena not as related and overlapping concepts under an overarching theory that explains the deification of political leaders poldei will build a transdisciplinary theory of political deification by using case studies from east southeast and south asian countries to analyse popular cultural concepts that address the deification of political leaders this transdisciplinary project will use innovative methods from film studies visualperformance studies and culture studies in addition to the study of religion political science and anthropology to interpret the popular understanding of such religiopolitical phenomena the project poldei will develop a theory of political deification to understand how the legitimacy of political rule is grounded in concepts derived from religious worldviews this theory built from asia is not just for asia the proposed theory will provide us with the analytical tools and conceptual categories we need to decode the contemporary challenge of rising religious nationalisms not just in asia but at the global level from the perspective of the history of science the project will test the results of this radical act of relocating not just the ground of theory but also the geopolitical pattern of applicability

a palaeoenvironmental investigation of amazonian lowland sensitivity to climatic drivers using pollenbased modelling approaches

the amazon is one of the worlds most biodiverse ecosystems and our greatest carbonsink but human activity and climate change are posing severe threats to its existence we are still a long way away from knowing how sensitive plants in the amazon really are to variations in temperature and precipitation one way we can understand this is by looking at fossil pollen accumulated over thousands of years which can be used to reconstruct what the forests looked like over time and how they changed in the context of amazonia so far there hasnt been a way to connect changes in the pollen assemblages with climatic events because the forests in this region are diverse and many areas respond differently to environmental factors and there is not enough data to allow comparisons between sites to understand the sensitivity of amazonia to climate change we aim to use pollenbased modelling to reconstruct changes in temperature precipitation and seasonality in the lowlands of ecuador and peru this will be achieved by collecting modern pollen samples and gathering other existing datasets from collaborators as well as modern climate data recovered from meteorological stations we will use these datasets to calibrate key existing fossil pollen records from the region thereby enabling the reconstruction of palaeoclimatic parameters through the use of transfer functions by improving our database of modern pollen for the lowlands of amazonia and applying novel modelling techniques we aim to provide new knowledge about ecological tipping points plant responses to abrupt changes effects on population abundance and structure and lags in response to climate this project represents a key advancement not only to the field of tropical palaeoecology shedding light on the response of vegetation dynamics to climate change for a region where this is still so mysterious but it also represents a major contribution to the conservation of a globally important biome

unravelling the cellcell circuits underlying the functional reprogramming of kcs and tams during liver metastasis

the liver is one the most common metastatic sites for several cancers unfortunately liver metastasis patients show a particularly low response to immunotherapy one of the main immune cells populating liver metastases are macrophages these cells have been shown to play a key role in the regulation of antitumor immune responses including response to immunotherapy however we still lack the capacity to modulate macrophage activity during liver metastasis because we do not yet understand their functional diversity and do not know the molecular signals that drive the protumoral activity of macrophages during liver metastasis the host lab has recently reported a major role for cellcell interactions within the microenvironmental niche in the development and functional specialization of liver macrophages my preliminary data indicate that liver metastasis is accompanied with the expansion of both liverresident kupffer cells kcs and monocytederived tumorassociated macrophages tams singlecell analysis in mouse and human revealed that tams recruited during metastasis are heterogeneous and transcriptomically different from kcs suggesting a distinct functional specialization the molecular pathways involved in the functional reprogramming of kcs and tams and their relative contribution to tumor growth remain poorly understood in this metamacniche project i will use a combination of cuttingedge spatial multiomic technologies intravital microscopy and an in vivo crispr screen to investigate the role of kcs and tams in liver metastasis through a combination of in silico predictions and highthroughput in vivo validations i will identify the key cellcell interactions involved in the functional reprogramming of kcs and tams during liver metastasis finally i aim to perform preclinical studies to assess whether we can boost the responsiveness to immunotherapy by modulating macrophage activity during liver metastasis
