Enhancing and Evolving INFRAFRONTIER Disease Modelling Capacity to Enable Breakthrough Research

Project description

Enhancing modelling capacity for disease prevention

INFRAFRONTIER is the leading European research infrastructure dedicated to modelling human diseases. It plays a key role in advancing disease prevention and therapies through sophisticated in-vivo and in-vitro models. The EU-funded INFRAPLUS project aims to enhance INFRAFRONTIER’s capacity, refine its service portfolio, reduce animal usage and develop state-of-the-art in vitro models while maximising resource use efficiency. The project will achieve this by launching pilot services, refining new technologies, providing specialised training programmes, and optimising resources for the entire consortium. Ultimately, INFRAPLUS will improve INFRAFRONTIER’s ability to model human diseases and offer researchers advanced tools and services to tackle global biomedical challenges.

Objective

In response to the HORIZON-INFRA-2023-DEV-01-03 call, INFRAPLUS aims to expand INFRAFRONTIER's capacity for human disease modelling, refine its service portfolio by reducing animal usage and developing alternative cellular models, and optimise the use of resources. INFRAPLUS seeks to achieve several objectives: Developing national node capacities and expertise for providing innovative in vivo, in vitro and preclinical services, developing novel model systems and services to meet the demands of existing and novel user communities, and reducing environmental impact.

To achieve these objectives, INFRAPLUS will focus on launching pilot services, refining new technologies, emphasising alternate cellular models, designing and implementing special training programmes and optimising resources for the entire consortium. The project includes a defined service development strategy supported by a strong IT and data management backbone and is built upon the needs of the scientific community. Ultimately, INFRAPLUS will enhance and evolve INFRAFRONTIER's capacity for modelling human diseases and enable breakthrough research by providing researchers cutting-edge tools and services to respond to global biomedical challenges.
