The Living Human Project (LHP) is developing a worldwide, distributed repository of anatomo-functional data and of simulation algorithms relative to the human musculoskeletal apparatus, fully integrated into a seamless simulation environment and directly accessible by any researcher in the world. This infrastructure will be used to create the physiome of the human musculoskeletal system. ==The Story so far== This initiative started in 2002 as a result of the BioNet coordination action, aimed to establish the grand challenges for European biomechanics. The (BioNet consensus document ) clearly pointed out the need for an Internet-based virtual community as a mean to share biomechanics data. In 2003 a group of partners who were also involved with the BioNet action wrote a (public document ) drafting a possible strategy to have the LHP started. In the meanwhile Marco Viceconti, a researcher at the (Rizzoli Institute ) in Bologna (Italy) started a voluntary effort called Biomechanics European Lab (BEL). The idea was to create a community of interested colleagues, who would develop the LHP without any centralised funding. In 2006 The BEL was merged with to (Biomed Town ), a new Internet community reserved to all those who have professional interest in biomedical research. The (BEL data repository ) remains available on Biomed Town for historical reasons. It was evident that the most important limiting factor for LHP was the lack of an adequate information technology infrastructure. This need is now being matched by two separate provisions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Living Human Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
