Project description DEENESFRITPL Polish partnerships for cancer vaccine research The development of vaccines that can stimulate the body’s immune system to attack cancer cells is a growing area of research. More research is needed before vaccines become approved for widespread use. The EU-funded CANVAS project aims to advance cancer vaccine science research at the University of Gdańsk’s International Centre for Cancer Vaccine Science in Poland. The project involves partnering with the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy and the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission in France, as well as a biotech start-up Real Research in Poland. CANVAS will establish a joint pilot study with the goal of providing the foundation for a novel patient-tailored therapy for non small cell lung cancer. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The main objective of the project Enhancing Cancer Vaccine Science for New Therapy Pathways (CANVAS) is to significantly raise the scientific profile, networking, and research management competencies at the International Centre for Cancer Vaccine Science (ICCVS) at the University of Gdańsk (UG), Poland, to achieve improved research excellence in cancer vaccine science. The project aims to contribute to reduction of the disparities in R&I in Europe by networking activities with outstanding leading European research partners: University of Rome Tor Vergata (UNITOV), Italy, and Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), France. The partnership includes also a biotech start-up Real Research (Poland), to foster intersectoral knowledge transfer for innovative translational research approaches. A strong focus on upgrade of grant writing and research management skills will improve long-term competitiveness in obtaining funding. In addition a joint pilot study is planned in the project. We expect that it will provide the foundation for a novel patient tailored therapy of non-small cell lung cancer. Thus, apart from the scientific impact, in the long term innovations generated with the support of the CANVAS partnership have a translational potential to contribute to improving therapy for cancer patients, which give the project a pivotal economic and societal impact.
