Thematic Overview

Advanced genomics and its application for health

Fundamental knowledge and basic tools for functional genomics in all organisms
- gene expression and proteomics
- structural genomics
- comparative genomics and population genetics
- bioinformatics
- functional genomics to study basic biological processes
Application of knowledge and technologies in the field of genomics and biotechnology for health
- rational and accelerated development of new, safer, more effective drugs including pharmacogenomics approaches
- development of new diagnostics
- development of new in vitro tests to replace animal experimentation
- development and testing of new preventive and therapeutic tools, such as somatic gene and cell therapies and immunotherapies
- innovative research in post-genomics, which has high potential for application

Application-orientated genomic approaches to :
- combating cardiovascular disease, diabetes and rare diseases
- combating resistance to antibiotics and other drugs
- studying the brain and combating diseases of the nervous system
- studying human development and the ageing process
Combating cancer
