Objective The STEMCAM project is a 4-years training and transfer of knowledge program between two distinguished academic groups in stem cell research, two highly innovative SMEs and a company leader in development of media for stem cell research, to foster long-term industry-academy collaboration and partnership in the field of stem cells research and applications. The scientific and industrial aim of STEMCAM is to study the role of the Neuronal Cell Adhesion Molecule NCAM and related growth factors in the maintenance, survival and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells towards the neural and myocardial lineage, in comparison with embryonic stem cells. The project will take advantage of very unique and innovative pharmacological tools, the NCAM and growth factor mimetic peptides discovered by ENKAM. To achieve its aim STEMCAM will apply an interdisciplinary approach from cell biology (including innovative in vitro culture using bi- and three dimensional systems), immunocytochemistry, imaging, molecular biology, electrophysiology, to peptide chemistry and chemioinformatics. The project will run via a training and transfer of knowledge program structured to efficiently exploit the expertise and complementarities between the industrial and academic partners to reach the scientific goals of the project and provide high quality intersectorial training for the participating researchers. This is expected to be of high benefit for their individual career development. The STEMCAM project links intersectorial research activities in two very relevant areas of stem cell research, neurogenesis and cardiomyogenesis and will strictly collaborate with the IAPPs INDUSTEM and PARTNERS and the large FP7 IP ESNATS, complementing and expanding with its unique approach their research scope and transfer of knowledge. Thus STEMCAM will significantly contribute to progress of stem cell research in Europe with high potential impact on European competitiveness and regenerative medicine Fields of science natural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesnatural sciencesbiological sciencescell biologymedical and health sciencesmedical biotechnologycells technologiesstem cellsnatural sciencesbiological sciencesmolecular biology Programme(s) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Topic(s) FP7-PEOPLE-2009-IAPP - Marie Curie Action: "Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways" Call for proposal FP7-PEOPLE-2009-IAPP See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MC-IAPP - Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) Coordinator BIOTALENTUM TUDASFEJLESZTO KFT EU contribution € 299 239,00 Address AULICH LAJOS UTCA 26 2100 Goedoello Hungary See on map Region Közép-Magyarország Pest Pest Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact András Dinnyes (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (4) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all ENKAM PHARMACEUTICALS A/S Denmark EU contribution € 352 551,00 Address Fruebjergvej, 3 2100 COPENHAGEN See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Albrechtsen Morten (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITE DE GENEVE Switzerland EU contribution € 432 297,00 Address RUE DU GENERAL DUFOUR 24 1211 Geneve See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Région lémanique Genève Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Karl-Heinz Krause (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data KLINIKUM DER UNIVERSITAET ZU KOELN Germany EU contribution € 405 230,00 Address Kerpener Strasse 62 50937 Koeln See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Köln Köln, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Jürgen Hescheler (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data STEMCELL Technologies Inc.
