Our lab’s logo denotes a computationally-enhanced, brain-focused\u00a0Rod of Asclepius<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Rod of Asclepius takes its name from the god\u00a0Asclepius<\/a>, a deity associated with healing and medicinal arts in Greek mythology.<\/p>\n

The serpent has been seen as a symbol that unites and expresses the dual nature of medical research, which deals with life and death, sickness and health.<\/p>\n

The ambiguity of the serpent as a symbol, and the contradictions it is thought to represent, reflect the ambiguity of the use of drugs, which can help -at the right dose- or harm -in a wrong dose.<\/p>\n

This was reflected in the meaning of the term pharmakon (\u03c6\u03ac\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd), which meant “drug”, “medicine” and “poison” in ancient Greek.<\/p>\n

A number of organizations and services use the rod of Asclepius as part of their logo, including the\u00a0American Medical Association<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0World Health Organization<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
