Descripción del proyecto
Formación interdisciplinar de investigadores experimentados en tecnologías de medicina personalizada
La medicina personalizada pretende integrar a la perfección datos de tecnologías ómicas, como la genómica, la proteómica y la metabolómica, en la práctica clínica. Aprovechando la capacidad de estas tecnologías, los profesionales sanitarios pueden conocer mejor el perfil molecular único de cada persona, lo que les ayuda a personalizar el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y las estrategias de prevención. Esta integración requiere una colaboración multidisciplinar, en la que expertos de diversos campos aúnen fuerzas para analizar e interpretar datos ómicos, desarrollar modelos informáticos y traducir estos hallazgos en información aplicable. El objetivo del proyecto TOPMed10, financiado por las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, es respaldar tanto esa formación interdisciplinar en tecnologías ómicas como la promoción profesional, ofreciendo becas de prestigio a investigadores experimentados.
Objetivo
UCD proposes the implementation of a new postdoctoral fellowship programme supporting career development and interdisciplinary training in omics driven Personalised Medicine for 10 high calibre experienced researchers undertaking transnational ‘incoming’ mobility to Ireland (TOPMed10). Experienced researchers, by definition under Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), are those in possession of a doctoral degree (or at least 4 years of research experience (FTE)) at the time of the deadline for the submission of their fellowship proposal. TOPMed10 offers 10 prestigious fellowships, 2-3 years in duration, across two calls. Fellowships will be offered at 2 levels: level 1 will be targeted at incoming experienced researchers (as per MSCA definition) with 0-3 years additional research experience and level 2 will be targeted at incoming experienced researchers (as per MSCA definition) with 3+ years additional research experience. Career breaks will be taken into account. Fellowships of level 1 and 2 are open to candidates of any nationality who, at the time of the deadline for submission of proposals, shall not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Ireland for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the deadline for submission date. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account. Fellowships will be based in the UCD Research Institutes (Systems Biology Ireland, UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology, UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research and the UCD Clinical Research Centre). Fellows may undertake an optional 3-9 month secondment to a Partner Organisation (incl. academic, industry, clinical sector) or a research performing organisation in any country in the world deemed to be appropriate in terms of meeting the needs of the fellows’ research, training and career development requirements.
