Zoomposium with Professor Dr. Petra Ritter: "The simulation of brains"
In another installment in our "Zoomposium Series" on the topic of "Brain Research", my colleague Axel Stöcker of the "Blog der großen Fragen" and I had the great honor and pleasure of conducting an interview with the very well-known and renowned German medical doctor and neuroscientist Professor Dr. Petra Ritter.
In this context, Ms. Ritter became a co-founder and leader of the co-design project "The Virtual Brain", which is a component of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and is "a neuroinformatics platform for simulating whole brain networks using biologically realistic connectivity".
She is leading the development of a virtual research environment as a collaborative research platform for sensitive health data and head of the "German National Neuroscience Research Infrastructure Initiative (NFDI-Neuroscience)" and involved in the development of the "Health Data Cloud EBRAINS".
Petra Ritter has been Johanna Quandt Professor and Head of the Section for Brain Simulation at the Department of Neurology with Experimental Neurology at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin since 2017.
There, Professor Ritter and her team are involved in the "Simulation of Brains".
