Descrizione del progetto
Formare scienziati interdisciplinari esperti di microbioma
Fondamentale per la vita sul nostro pianeta e il benessere degli organismi, la comunità del microbioma (i microrganismi che vivono in un ecosistema assieme a tutti i loro geni) svolge un ruolo cruciale nell’influenzare i flussi metabolici nella biosfera. Il progetto CRESCENDO, finanziato dall’UE, recluterà 10 ricercatori internazionali in fase iniziale di carriera che saranno coinvolti in ricerche e formazione relative all’ambito del microbioma. Ciò si tradurrà in un dottorato globalmente riconosciuto, rafforzando le prospettive di carriera di tali ricercatori. Coordinato dalla task force per gli studi sul microbioma dell’Università Federico II di Napoli (UNINA), il progetto unirà le strutture e l’esperienza di oltre 150 scienziati accademici provenienti da 14 facoltà dell’Università di Napoli, dai dipartimenti di biologia, scienze agroalimentari e chimica fino a quelli di ingegneria e scienze sociali.
Obiettivo
The microbiome is the community of microorganisms inhabiting an ecosystem along with all their genes and it plays a fundamental role in influencing the metabolic fluxes on the biosphere. Microbiome activity is essential for the life on our planet and the well-being of organisms, and research is attracting interest and investment from the industry worldwide. CRESCENDO Doctoral Programme will recruit 10 international Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) who will be involved in research and training in the Microbiome field, leading to a worldwide appreciated PhD degree valuable in terms of ESR career perspectives. UNINA applies for the MSCA-COFUND-DP through its recently established Task Force on Microbiome Studies (www.tfm.unina.it) that combines facilities and experience of more than 150 Academic scientists from 14 different UNINA Departments in the areas of Biology, Medicine, Food and Agricultural Sciences, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Engineering and Social Sciences, thus representing an ideal trans-disciplinary environment to support training and research in the microbiome field. The Programme will benefit of the participation of 21 Partner Organizations (POs) including leading international companies that are stakeholders of the microbiome research and excellent non-academic research centres. Indeed, all ESRs will spend secondment periods abroad and at least 6 months in a non-academic PO, in full integration with their Microbiome-related activities. The POs will have a key role in achieving an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral (3-i) dimension of the DP. CRESCENDO would represent at this stage the only MSCA-COFUND project for a doctoral programme in Microbiome Science, developing trans-disciplinary Microbiome scientists with intersectoral and international experience and with a multidisciplinary scientific and technical background.
