siRFINDER, algorithms to identify target molecules

Grupo AIA has developed siRFINDER, a Machine Learning based software of siRNA molecules which has been successfully implanted by Sylentis, subsidiary of group Pharmarmar.

This software, co-financed by CDTI, is aimed at strengthening drug development based on RNA interference therapy. This tool developed by different Machine Learning algorithms is designed to generate thousands of specific compounds for disease treatment taking advantage of the ARN Interference technology (ARNi). This biomolecular technology enables silencing genes responsible for producing protein associated to specific diseases. Through this ARN interference technology, it is possible to prevent genes from developing as disease.

In a first phase of the project, the algorithms were performed for the selection of the best candidates in terms of their thermodynamic properties, possible body immune response, possible negative effects on the genes and possible modifications or mutations of the target gene. Consequently, we would know which molecules from all the siRNA molecules are the most effective for specific pathologies.

Reducing the number of molecules for further research and development, the time required is reduced by half, which enables Sylentis to develop innovative drugs in a shorter time and lower cost for the pharmaceutical company.

Among the main benefits for Sylentis is that siRFINDER maintains confidentiality of the targets and flow of information during the whole process, because the algorithms collect, clean and reinterpret the data generated by Sylentis describing the expected metrics the siRNA candidates must meet.

Grupo AIA and Sylentis will continue with the following phase of the siRFINDER Project which consists on developing an autolearning system designed to adapt it to the type of tissue it is addressed to.

RAIN: Risk Analysis of Infrastructure Networks in Response to Extreme Weather

RAIN proyecto

RAIN project ´s objective is to provide operational analysis to identify the impact of extreme weather conditions on the components of critical infrastructure and minimize their effects on the E. U´s infrastructure networks.

RAIN has focused on ground infrastructure, particularly on ancillary infrastructure networks to identify cascading events and associated infrastructure problems. A key aspect of the analysis is the impact of climate change on vulnerable and old infrastructure.

The robustness of existing transport and energy networks to face changing weather conditions has been carefully analyzed. The capacity of this plan to respond beyond the borders has been guaranteed by the multidisciplinary consortium. The Project group has experience in climatology, operational analysis, transport economy, analysis and mitigation, as well as design and evaluation.

The RAIN consortium partners are:

  • THE PROVOST, FELLOWS, FOUNDATION SCHOLARS & THE OTHER MEMBERS OF BOARD OF THE COLLEGE OF THE HOLY & UNDIVIDED TRINITY OF QUEEN ELIZABETH NEAR DUBLIN, TCD (Ireland).

PREEMPTIVE: METODOLOGÍA PREVENTIVA Y HERRAMIENTAS PARA PROTEGER LOS SERVICIOS PÚBLICOS

PREEMPTIVE

 

El objetivo de PREEMPTIVE (Proyecto de capacidad FP7-SEC-2013-1: Sistemas de protección para redes de servicios públicos) es proporcionar una solución innovadora para mejorar los métodos existentes y concebir herramientas para evitar los ciberataques, que se dirigen a redes de servicios públicos. PREEMPTIVE aborda la prevención de ataques cibernéticos contra sistemas de hardware y software tales como DCS, SCADA, PLC, sensores electrónicos en red y sistemas de monitoreo y diagnóstico utilizados por las redes de servicios públicos. Además, el objetivo de la investigación es implementar herramientas de detección basadas en un enfoque dual que comprenda detección de baja detección directa y detección de mal comportamiento del proceso.

El proyecto PREEMPTIVE cumple con 5 objetivos previamente planteados:

  1. Mejorar los marcos existentes de seguridad metodológica y prevención con el objetivo de armonizar los métodos de evaluación de riesgos y vulnerabilidades, las políticas estándar, los procedimientos y las reglamentaciones o recomendaciones aplicables para prevenir los ciberataques. La metodología PREEMPTIVE propuesta tendrá en cuenta las soluciones tecnológicas innovadoras previstas para prevenir y detectar ataques de día cero.
  2. Definir pautas para mejorar la vigilancia de Infraestructuras Críticas (IC).
  3. Diseñar y desarrollar herramientas de prevención y detección se quejan del doble enfoque que tiene en cuenta tanto el análisis del mal comportamiento del proceso industrial (dominio físico) como las anomalías de comunicación y software (dominio cibernético):
    • Detección de mala conducta en el proceso industrial.
    • Prevención y detección de amenazas relacionadas con la comunicación y el software.
    • Además, se desarrollarán nuevas técnicas, a continuación referidas como “basadas en el host”, para enfrentar nuevas formas de transmisión a través de los dispositivos utilizados en el día a día de los negocios.
  4. Definir una taxonomía para clasificar las redes de servicios teniendo en cuenta:
    • La sensibilidad de la red de servicios públicos a las amenazas cibernéticas.
    • El tipo de red de servicios públicos y la tecnología de comunicación utilizada.
    • El impacto sobre los ciudadanos de la falta de disponibilidad de los servicios causada por un ataque cibernético a una red de servicios públicos.
  5. Validar el marco PREEMPTIVE y las tecnologías innovadoras en escenarios reales. Se realizará una validación previa en un entorno emulado.

El consorcio PREEMPTIVE está formado por los siguientes socios:

  • Vitrociset S.p.A. (Coordinador)
  • Harnser Ltd
  • SecurityMatters BV
  • Universidad de Twente
  • HW Communication Limited
  • Università degli studi Roma Tre

Papel de Grupo AIA en el proyecto:

Grupo AIA utilizará su experiencia en el reconocimiento de patrones (y en particular en las infraestructuras eléctricas) para detectar estados físicos (descritos por un conjunto de mediciones) que no pertenecen al conjunto normal. Grupo AIA contribuirá también a desarrollar una metodología de defensa. Además, Grupo AIA lidera WP5 (y participa como colaborador), donde se modelan y simulan escenarios de referencia de amenazas.
