Project description
Novel centre for nuclear magnetic resonance research in Latvia
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a rapidly advancing technology with significant potential for biopharmaceutical research. However, the field suffers from a shortage of dedicated research facilities and skilled personnel. With this in mind, the EU-funded MR LATVIA project aims to address this gap by establishing a new regional centre of excellence in NMR at the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (LIOS). The project will collaborate with two European NMR centres to enhance LIOS’s innovation, research, and administrative capacities. These efforts will elevate the reputation of the NMR centre and LIOS, while fostering advancements in NMR technology.
Objective
The aim of the MR LATVIA project is to establish a regional centre of excellence in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (LIOS), with a special focus on NMR applications in (bio)pharmaceuticals research. By linking the coordinating institution with two top-class European NMR centres (and facilities), Centre de RMN à Très Hauts Champs in Lyon and Consorzio Interuniversitario Risonanze Magnetiche di Metallo Proteine in Florence, the project aims to create a national NMR core facility, enhance the research and innovation performance of LIOS, raise the research profile of its staff as well as strengthen its research management and administrative capacities. The transfer of expertise from the advanced partners to LIOS will be achieved through inter-institutional seminars, organisation of scientific events (workshops, summer schools and a conference), short-term visits, on-the-job training of LIOS early-stage researchers during long-term secondments, and implementation of a joint research project. As a result of this project, LIOS will develop as a regional NMR hub involved in strategic networking activities with two leading NMR European facilities and integrated into the broader European network of NMR research infrastructures. Through providing access to NMR instrumentation and expertise the developed research excellence will be further spread across Latvia and the whole Baltic see region, thereby contributing to closing of the research and innovation gap within Europe.
