Safeguarding Life
The main goal of the Lifeboat Foundation is to safeguard humanity from
problems in the future. Today we are offering the chance to save a life
today. It is important that we work to protect both our present and our

Frontiers in Neuroengineering
Our Michele Giugliano and Henry Markram are organizing the 2010 Monte
Verità Workshop: Frontiers in Neuroengineering in Ascona, Switzerland,
September 5-9th, 2010.
Neuroengineering is a rapidly growing discipline that takes its lymph
from the increasing cross-fertilization of many areas of technology and
science. By means of neuroengineering, advances in diverse technologies
and in cellular and molecular biology converge into powerful tools to
improve our understanding and treatment of neural (dis)functions. Recently such a discipline has gone beyond the concept of a simple
application of engineering principles to central nervous system (CNS)
comprehension, leading to the emergence of one of the more exciting
interdisciplinary research fields in modern neurosciences.
