WNT-mediated signal relay in stem cells and oncogenesis - from basic biology to applications (WntsApp)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

The ITN WntsApp is organized to achieve 3 key aims: (i) Provide a committed training programme for young researchers to bridge the gap between basic scientific knowledge and drug development, (ii) Centring research on a key cancer-signalling pathway, WNT signalling, to stimulate synergies and (iii) Strengthening the link between international partners and private enterprises to stimulate innovatio ...

NMR for Structural Biology (Bio-NMR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

In the past two decades spectacular insight into basic principles of life has been obtained from paradigmatic high-resolution structural investigations providing a rational basis for biological experiments. NMR is an indispensable enabling technology for determining such structures and their interactions in solution, the immobilized state and living cells. The power of NMR to link structural, dyna ...

Regulated release of Pt-based drugs from multi-component Au-nanocarriers (NOBLEMED)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"The aim of the proposed research is to develop a new (Au-NP) gold nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. For this new synthetic approach, three different components are designed; namely, new tailored gold nanoparticle, cleavable linkers, and new platinum-based drugs.The first component is a new tailored Au-NP, which will be synthesized using a multidentate thioether “coating ligand”. Unlike th ...

Word Wide NMR (WW-NMR)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

and institutions specialised in all aspects of NMR spectroscopy in Europe with newly developed laboratories in five other countries. It builds on EU-funded infrastructures and will enable the creation of strategic and sustainable links with nine Partners from countries outside Europe. In return Third Country Partners will gain access to highly sophisticated NMR equipment. NMR spectroscopy is a bro ...

The molecular complexity of the complement system (COCO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The complement system is a regulatory pathway in mammalian plasma that enables the host to recognize and clear invading pathogens and altered host cells, while protecting healthy host tissue. This regulatory system consists of ~30 large multi-domain plasma and cell-surface proteins, that act in concert through an interplay of proteolysis and complex formations on target membranes. We study the mol ...

A worldwide e-Infrastructure for NMR and structural biology (WeNMR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Structural biology and life sciences in general, and NMR in particular, have always been associated with advanced computing. The current challenges in the post-genomic era, with their focus on biomolecular interactions, call for virtual research platforms that provide the worldwide research community with both user-friendly tools, platforms for data analysis and exchange, and an underlying e-infra ...

Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins (SBMPs)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Membrane proteins (MPs) are known to be key molecules in cellular communications, from signal transduction to transport of ions, metabolites and other molecules. They also participate in the synthesis of ATP, the import of soluble or MPs from the cytosol, and they protect living organisms from toxic factors. The proposal consists in a joint training effort involving the major biophysical methods t ...
