The impact of TFIID on the transcription initiation machinery – a structural perspective.

Objective

Transcription is a first step of gene expression, a process by which a functional gene product is synthesized based on genetic information from DNA. Gene expression is tightly regulated with complex mechanisms that give cells the flexibility to adapt to a variable environment. Defects in regulation and transcription mechanisms leads to serious pathologies in cells and organisms, that in humans includes cancer development, autoimmunity and neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases etc.
Structural studies of transcription in the last two decades, brought priceless insight into the mechanisms involved in the process, especially concerning transcription initiation. The next step in understanding gene expression is to combine knowledge about gene regulation with the mechanisms of transcription initiation. I will investigate the molecular basis of gene regulation and transcription initiation interplay using strategy that combine state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy, chemical cross-linking, mass-spectrometry and biochemical assays.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

See all projects funded under this funding scheme

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
