Description du projet
Renforcer la recherche génomique en Slovaquie
La génomique, la protéomique et la bioinformatique sont cruciales pour aborder les défis sociétaux actuels, notamment le développement de la médecine personnalisée et la réponse à des pandémies telles que celle de la COVID-19. L'université Comenius (CU) de Bratislava, en Slovaquie, est toutefois à la traîne par rapport aux principales institutions de recherche, en dépit du rapide développement de ces domaines. Le projet FORGENOM II, financé par l'UE, se propose de combler cette lacune en renforçant les capacités de recherche de la CU. Le projet entend renforcer l'excellence scientifique et la visibilité internationale de la CU par le biais d’activités ciblées de mise en réseau, de mentorat et de formation avec des institutions européennes de premier plan telles que le Laboratoire européen de biologie moléculaire et l'université de Milan-Bicocca. Cette initiative renforcera non seulement la participation de la CU à des projets mondiaux, mais consolidera également l'ensemble du système slovaque de R&I.
Objectif
Genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics play an increasingly important role in the current societal challenges. These scientific fields bring tools and technologies that can significantly improve the health of citizens. In personalized medicine it contributes to the development of more targeted personalized drugs, therapies and interventions for serious diseases (cancer, rare diseases). Genomics has also a significant role in the data-driven COVID-19 pandemic response.
Genomics and bioinformatics in Slovakia has rapidly developed also thanks to the Comenius University in Bratislava (CU). Nevertheless, the CUs capacity and expertise still lags behind the leading research institutions.
The main aim of the TWINNING project FORGENOM is to improve access to excellence at the Comenius University Science Park (CUSP) and raising the research profile of the institution and its staff in the field of biomedical genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics via targeted networking and mentoring and training activities with internationally leading research institutions in the area of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics European Molecular Biology Laboratory and Milano-Bicocca University.
By networking activities with global leaders will be developed the potential of the Comenius University to become European-wide known centre with increasing R&I contributions and achievements. These will increase the participation of the teams from CU in European and international projects.
FORGENOM project will help to increase the scientific level, research quality, international visibility, and competitiveness of the
Comenius University through targeted twinning activities aimed at career development, transfer of knowledge, institutional
development, exchange of best practices and networking.
Enhancing the scientific excellence of CU and transfering of know-how from experienced countries will have a systemic impact on the entire Slovak R&I system.
