The ERA Chair for Translational Genomics and Personalized Medicine

Deliverables

Training materials for internal workshops

The ERA Chair and staff will conduct seminars and workshops within the unit and with those from other departments when relevant – such as to transmit knowledge gained from study trips.

ERA Chair Contract Executed

The legal framework for employing people is provided by the respective rules of the University. Once selected, the vice rector of UT will sign the job contract. The ERA Chair will be paid at a rate comparable to the EU average for top level researchers

Training materials for 8 seminars on genomics research and clinical genomics

Training materials for 8 seminars on genomics research and clinical genomics Months 20, 25, 32, 37, 44, 49, 56, 60.

Materials for 10 public workshops for the general public
UT TG Research Integration Plan

The ERA chair will visit and meet with staff from related units to gain a better understanding of how the different staff and departments work with each other. Based upon this observation and analysis, the ERA chair will develop recommendations for how research efforts could be better coordinated so that overall results and quality are improved. This includes integration of equipment, workflow, proposal development, etc.

Research team Contracts Executed

Most of the research team will also be involved in WP4 and WP5 activities (Teaching and Dissemination), so decisions will be based both on their overall potential as researchers as well as demonstrated creativity and level of independence based upon a wide range of evaluation criteria, including publications, experience in teaching, supervision, and working with teams. An interest beyond lab work will also be evaluated, including a willingness to participate in knowledge transfer and public awareness activities (described further in WP5). Any experience working on the commercialization of research will also be considered.

ERA Chair job description

the ERA Chair position will be advertised according to Estonian Law, the EU Code of Conduct for the recruitment of researchers. DRAFT TEXT: Professional level. The candidate should have experience in a R&D institution for at least 5 years postdoctoral period and produced at least 20 papers during the last 5 years. We seek candidates with the following expertise: - genetics of complex diseases; - genetic epidemiology; - analysis of animal models for complex diseases; - experience in eQTL mapping; Experience in managing a lab, budgeting and a successful track record in project writing are valuable. The successful candidate should set up own research group for the translational genomics focusing of chronic inflammatory epithelial disorders and with major focus on psoriasis, Crohn’s disease and psoriatic arthritis. The candidates’ background does not need to be clinical, major focus should be on the experience on genomics and the analysis of genomics data (family studies, case-control studies, quantitative trait analysis and multifactorial inheritance). Experience in the use and analysis of NGS technologies is necessary. The successful candidate is responsible for setting up the group of translational genomics and will work to turn fundamental genomics into practically applicable solutions, such as in personalized medicine. The Chair is responsible for the generation and leading of the research group of chronic inflammatory epithelial diseases. This task needs collaboration with clinical departments. The Chair will also lead the development of a PhD curriculum in the topic and will undertake teaching and PhD supervision duties. The successful candidate will also be counted on to meet with business clusters, medical doctors, policy makers and other stakeholders to contribute to the advocacy of genomics and its applications in the health and biotechnology sector in Estonia Candidates will be informed about the recruitment process and the selection criteria and be made aware of both the specific responsibilities of this position as well as the general requirements called for by the European Charter for Researchers. We shall target both R3 and R4 level researchers to ensure that an adequate number of applicants apply. Posting the advertisement - The advertisement will be posted in various locations to ensure that a wide range of candidates can be considered. These sources include: • Internationally through publications such as Nature Magazine and on the Euraxxes website • Internationally via our scientific network (i.e. international research partners and members of the international advisory boards that exist for several UT units including the Estonian Genome Centre and the Centre of Translational Genomics). • Locally in Estonian public newspapers and within the Estonian Research Information System (ETIS) - a national register of R&D institutions, researchers, projects and research results. • We also intend to contact higher level researchers from other top Translational Genomics Centres in Europe - including the San Raffaele Institute, the European Centre for Public Health Genomics and the European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine.

Science Museum Exhibit on Genomics

Youth presentations on genomics – Researchers in the ERA Chair team will receive training on presentation skills, specifically for non-expert audiences. Under the supervision of the ERA Chair, researchers will also prepare short presentations and present them in Estonian high schools. The purpose is to promote science and genetics to future university students. AHHAA Exhibit – The ERA Chair will also work with staff from the local science centre in Tartu to create an interactive exhibit that will present genetics in a fun way that addresses both its potential importance and ethical factors.

At least 10 Newspaper articles

We will build up a constructive relationship with Estonian/European journalists interested in scientific and ethical issues raised by the project. Staff will coordinate press releases to disseminate new activities, achieved milestones and important discoveries during the course of the project on a global and local scale.

Materials for 10 presentations to relevant business clusters

The ERA Chair will hold seminars with firms interested in research conducted on personalized medicine and the potential products that might result. Feedback from these meetings will further help the ERA Chair holder in research and product development. These sessions will be organized in particular via the various business clusters that have been formed by Enterprise Estonia as described above. They include the Estonian HealthTech Cluster, the Estonian Health Tourism Cluster, the Estonian Cell Therapy Cluster, the Estonian Sports Medicine Cluster SportEST and the Competence Centre for Cancer Research (CCCR).

Materials for at least 12 workshops held with hospitals, medical students, clinicians and specialists

The ERA Chair will create specialized training for primary care (general practitioners), specialists in genetics, endocrinology, cardiology, oncology and residency students on personalized medicine and based upon the database developed. Workshops will also educate dermatologists, rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons with up to date information about their specialty and how to put the ERA Chair’s scientific results in clinical practice. Similar trainings will also be held at other hospitals throughout Estonia. These will be organized via the UT Hospital internal training program (Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikum Koolituskeskus) and by collaborating with the Estonian Medical Association (Eesti Arstide Liit).

Re-designed CTG Website

The CTG website will be updated to include information in Estonian and English. News and information about the ERA Chair will be updated regularly. This includes information about workshops and events he/she is participating in, pages introducing the topics of translational genomics and personalized medicine to non-researchers and other relevant information.

Database with 300 animal samples

data from mouse studies (QTL mappings, knockout mice, etc.) as a translational solution for these complex diseases (at least 300 samples).

Database with 1,000 human samples clinical and laboratory data

A comprehensive database and integrative analytical platform employing translational genomics for chronic inflammatory epithelial diseases (CIEDs, psoriasis and Crohn’s disease) with at least 1,000 human samples.

New markers and eQTL loci

Clinical data will be combined with genetic variation, genome transcription and epigenetic alterations are described in great detail (association analysis, gene expression profiling, eQTL mapping, linear modeling, DNA methylation analysis etc.) together with the characterization of metabolomes (final products of the metabolism).
