A virtual world designed to enhance learning, By putting students in realistic situations and encouraging practise based learning. 

brilliant animation explaining how the nervous system is influenced by training and how to use this knowledge for better learning

Excellent explanation of an idea to educate people about their bodies in order to change their behaviour and help with their problems. 

Brilliant example of making learning interesting. Consider infection from the point of view of the pathogen. Create your own virus or bacteria and infect a host human.  Really fun and interesting.

Fascinating look into pushing human performance. 

fascinating approach to modelling a human brain in a computer. 

HOLLOW facilitates the production of surface images of proteins. 

An amazing 3d protein molecule viewer written in html 5. Just jas dropping. 

Entrepreneurs see life as a game and enjoy the challenge. Wouldn't it be better to nurture this instead of inhibit it.

a simple flash based bigital microscope to study plant animal and microbe slides. 

This episode of Futures in biotech looks at brain implants that help humans achieve more. Symbiosis of man and machine

More specifically, LHDL aims to create the technical infrastructure for the Living Human Project (LHP). LHP will create a silico model of the human musculo-skeletal apparatus which can predict how mechanical forces are exchanged internally and externally, from the whole body down to the protein level. This model will be designed as an infrastructure that can be updated and extended whenever new data and algorithms become available. LHDL aims to develop this infrastructure.

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.

Fantastic lecture on the problems of current copyright law and how it could be changed.
