Development of Magnetic Resonance in Latvia

Descripción del proyecto

Nuevo centro para la investigación en resonancia magnética nuclear en Letonia

La resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) es una tecnología que evoluciona con rapidez y que tiene un gran potencial para la investigación biofarmacéutica. Sin embargo, este campo carece de instalaciones de investigación especializadas y de personal cualificado. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el proyecto MR LATVIA, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objeto colmar este vacío creando un nuevo centro regional de excelencia en RMN en el Instituto de Síntesis Orgánica de Letonia (LIOS, por sus siglas en inglés). El proyecto colaborará con dos centros europeos de RMN para mejorar las capacidades de innovación, investigación y gestión del LIOS. Esta labor mejorará la reputación del centro de RMN y del LIOS y, al mismo tiempo, promoverá avances en la tecnología de RMN.

Objetivo

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 Trs 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.
