+Taverna is used by various projects and researchers in medicine:
+
+ - [Know-how Sharing Technology Based on ARC Services and Open Standards](#knowarc) (KnowARC) - 
+      rapid iteration and large datasets on a grid for for medical imaging
+ - [Medical Imaging and Signals Grid](/introduction/taverna-in-use/medical-imaging#miasgrid) (MIASGrid) - 
+      workflows for MRI and mammogram analysis
+ - [caGrid](/introduction/related-projects#cagrid) - cancer research
+ - [EU-ADR](#eu-adr) - detecting adverse drug reactions through the exploitation of clinical data from 
+      electronic healthcare records

+##KnowARC
+
+The Grid-enabled Know-how Sharing Technology Based on ARC Services and Open Standards (KnowARC) 
+   [project](http://www.knowarc.eu/) is:  
+
+> a Sixth Framework Programme Specific Targeted Research Project, under
+> Priority IST-2005-2.5.4 “Advanced Grid Technologies, Systems and
+> Services”. The operative comencement date of the project is June 1,
+> 2006, and the planned duration is 3 years.
+> 
+> The objectives of the project are:
+> 
+>  - to create a novel, powerful Next Generation Grid middleware based on NorduGrid’s 
+>     [ARC](http://www.nordugrid.org/), widely respected for its simplicity,
+>     non-invasiveness and cost-efficiency;
+>  - to promote Grid standardization and interoperability;
+>  - to contribute to Grid technologies take-up, bridging the gaps between business and academia in Grid development
+
+The KnowARC team have adopted Taverna to specify their workflows.  
+They have also developed the [ARC plugin](/documentation/plugins#usecase_plugin) for Taverna.
+
+The functionality of the ARC plugin has been [demonstrated](http://www.knowarc.eu/demos/) 
+   in the domain of medical imaging.

+##EU-ADR
+
+The [EU-ADR](http://www.eu-adr-project.com/) project aims to develop an innovative computerised system to 
+  detect adverse drug reactions (ADRs) through the exploitation of clinical data from electronic healthcare records (EHRs). 
+This process will rely on the usage and development of various computational techniques to analyse the EHRs in order to 
+   detect “signals” (combination of drugs and suspected adverse events that warrant further investigation). 
+These techniques will be made available as a set of secure Web services, combining secure HTTPS connection with 
+   WS-Security user authentication.
+
+However, to obtain final readable results, the various services must work with each other, constructing one or more workflows. 
+An interdisciplinary team of researchers, requiring a software application that enhances workflow development in 
+   an elegant manner, will develop these workflows. 
+The chosen platform is Taverna, which provides a very easy to use interface and strong core features for 
+   Web services interconnection and management, improving researchers’ collaboration and general system functionality. 
+Taverna will support the remaining system components and end-user applications. 
+In the end, the project should demonstrate that scientific and clinical evidence could quickly and 
+   directly be translated into patient safety and, thus, health benefit.
