Accelerating Alzheimer’s Disease Breakthroughs With HPC

University of Queensland highlights potential of ultrasound to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease The University of Queensland is modeling possible treatments for some of the most debilitating illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease. The Queensland Brain Institute, the University’s neuroscience research institute, is using its high performance computing system to model the behavior of ultrasound using an analysis technique called Finite Element Method (FEM). The modeling calculates what happens to each element of the brain when an ultrasound is passed through the skull. It is hoped that ultrasound can be used to temporarily allow direct delivery … READ MORE
