Objective
The “Reproductive Biology Early Research Training” network (REPRO-TRAIN) aims to provide all the elements required to train the next
generation of researchers with the latest skills to solve the current societal problems in male reproductive biology (Andrology). The
decline in sperm counts and concomitant increase in testicular cancer demands research in this field as an urgent priority.
Spermatogenesis is the essential physiological process for male gamete production. It also provides a ideal paradigm model system to
study cellular development and differentiation; necessary for an understanding of dysfunction. An innovative aspect of this ITN is to
harness Systems biology into Reproductive Science. Here, we offer a high calibre, multidisciplinary research environment involving
frontier “omic” approaches in male reproductive biology for the first time with the aim of identifying the gene networks that are deregulated
in the infertile testis. The REPRO-TRAIN programme will integrate this highly interdisciplinary training with knowledge transfer to
strategic stakeholders. We will include universities and research institutes with internationally recognized experience in postgraduate
training, hospitals recognized for high quality clinical training and key private companies. This trans-national, inter-disciplinary research
network will provide a robust platform for the success of the proposed ITN. Ten ESR and four ER researchers will perform studies in
genetics and epigenetics, molecular male reproductive medicine, molecular and structural biology, and biotechnology with hands-on
training in cutting-edge technologies relevant to current molecular-genetic and medical research. A clear definition of their Personnel
Career Development Plans, training in complementary skills allied to business and the coordination between the elements that compose
this plan are detailed herein.
