Kingston University London is an innovative modern research led University which has four campuses and five faculties catering for over 23,000 students. The largest of these Faculties in terms of staff and student numbers is the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing (SEC) which isa recent amalgamation of three former Faculties. The SEC Faculty has eight schools:
Pharmacy and Chemistry, Computing Information Sciences, Mathematics, Life Science, Geology, Geography and Environment, Civil Engineering, Mechanical and Automotive Engineering and Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering. SEC is strategically focussed on inter-disciplinary research and researchers in SEC collaborate widely, within the Faculty, across Faculties as well as with a wide range of national and international partners, academic and industrial.
Kingston University has affiliation with a large teaching hospital (St George’s Hospital) and excellent strategic partnerships with healthcare providers across London and the UK which has enabled collaborative links with large databases. This complements the development within Kingston University of strategic links between the Medical Information and Network Technologies (MINT) Research Centre and the Interdisciplinary Hub for the Study of Health and Age related Conditions (IhSHA). MINT has received a number of prestigious grants totalling over £2 million and IhSHA receives support from the EU, leading charities and research councils, which has exceeded £1million in the last two years. The interdisciplinary partnerships across the Research Centres have resulted in successful research teams with complementary skills in areas of mobile healthcare and telemedicine.
The University invests heavily in research infrastructure in the sciences and computing and has recently completed construction of a major laboratory for interdisciplinary research between the biological, pharmaceutical and computer sciences. The facility has state of the art instrumentation for proteomic and genomic analyses, a tissue culture laboratory and computing suite which houses high spec computers for complex analytical work. A range of other laboratories that support life sciences and pharmaceutical research accommodate extensive modern suites for pathogen research, molecular microbiology/GM, natural products analysis, cell signalling, histology, immunology, and microscopy/image analysis. Major new equipment includes 400 and 600 MHz NMR Bruker spectrometers, mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS, ICP-AES, 3x LC-MS/MS, 2 x GC-MS) laser infrared microscope, laser Raman spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, high-resolution microscopes (SEM, TEM, CLSM), flow cytometers/FACS, BodPod, and Ion-Torrent sequencer for genomic analysis..

The Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) was founded in 2000 and is the largest research centre in Northern Greece with the mission to carry out basic and applied research with special emphasis on exploiting research results and developing new products and services with industrial, economic and social impact. In 2012, CERTH ranked first among all research centres in Greece regarding theabsorbed funding from the FP7-ICT Programme during the period 2007-2011. The Institute of Applied Biosciences (INAB) at CERTH, which resulted from the merger of the Institutes of Agrobiotechnology (INA) and Biomedical and Biomolecular Research (IBBR), and specifically the Division of Biomedical and Biomolecular Research will participate in AEGLE.
INAB has experience in conducting research in the areas of biomedical informatics, molecular medicine, and the development and evaluation of eHealth / telemonitoring applications.
INAB research activities in Biomedicine, funded by competitive programs (from both the EU and the Greek state) and industrial support, mainly aim at (i) the identification and validation of novel biomarkers enabling better classification of human cancers and improved diagnosis and prognosis assessment; and, (ii) the development of innovative preventive and therapeutic strategies based on a fundamental understanding of disease pathogenesis and evolution towards the implementation of personalized medicine approaches.

Maxeler provides complete platforms for High Performance Computing using dataflow supercomputing. By enabling applications to offload computation to dedicated Dataflow Engines (DFEs), Maxeler’s dataflow computers deliver 20-30x improvement in performance/W and performance/space with respect to conventional systems for particular applications. Dataflow Engines are optimized for “Big data” applications, with pipelined hardware architectures optimized for applying repetitive computation to massive datasets with full in-memory processing. For example, a rack of Maxeler MPC-X nodes provides over 15TB of memory.
Maxeler provides complete application platforms, which consist of:
Application: Maxeler teams consist of scientists and engineers who work on applications across a wide set of domains, ranging from life sciences to oil exploration. Maxeler provides complete applications as well as application libraries which allow domain experts to easily create new applications which exploit the performance of dataflow systems.
Compilers and management software: MaxelerOS manages resources, scheduling and data movement within a heterogeneous HPC environment. MaxCompiler provides a Java-based programming infrastructure for dataflow programming.
Hardware: Maxeler hardware systems integrate dataflow engines, custom 1U nodes and conventional CPU nodes with networking and local storage. Balancing hardware resources in the data center based on application requirements removes bottlenecks and significantly improves cost of computing.
Operating from its headquarters and main R&D facilities in London, Maxeler has a strong record of research and development of state-of-the-art science and technology. Through its university program, the company also has research relationships with well over 100 universities around the world.
