Neuroimaging and computing for better diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Inria is organising MICCAI 2012, the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, which takes place from the 1st to the 5th of October.
We spoke to Prof. Giovanni Frisoni, neurologist at IRCCS Fatebenefratelli in Italy, and Inria researcher Marco Lorenzi, both of whom are presenting a paper about brain image analysis for better diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Nicholas Ayache: "Medical Imagery and I.T.: the personalised digital patient"
Nicholas Ayache is the 2011 winner of an ERC grant worth 2.5 million Euros, aimed at experienced researchers. With many years of commitment to researching the analysis and simulation of medical images, he will now be able to rise to a major challenge: to design digital models of organs and pathologies enabling the incorporation of a patient's medical images and the simulation of the progress of their pathology and the suitability of the treatments before they are applied.

How to Skype without being seen!
Skype is a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution used by hundreds of millions of people the world over. Inria researchers (Stevens Le Blond, Arnaud Legout and Walid Dabbous) in partnership with a team at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University have demonstrated that a malicious user could invade the privacy of any Skype user.

Treasure network
Coming together to improve water treatment
Treasure is one of the networks developed as part of the EuroMediterranean 3+3 programme, created in 2006 to promote regional cooperation in the Mediterranean Basin. The aim of this multi-disciplinary, trans-Mediterranean network is to develop an effective water pollution control system that is capable of meeting growing water needs in North Africa. We spoke to two key participants about this exemplary collaboration.

Pierre Alliez: a pioneer in digital geometry processing
Pierre Alliez is a pioneer: when he began his research - following a Master's internship at Inria with Olivier Devillers and a PhD at France Telecom R&D and Telecom Paris Tech - the theme on which he was working still did not have a name. Today, with digital geometry processing now recognised as a scientific field, he is proposing IRON (Robust Geometry Processing), a project that earned him the prestigious ERC 2010 Grant in the "starting grants" category. We went to meet this researcher.
