Strengthening Omics data analysis capacities in pathogen-host interaction

Objective

The advent of high-throughput approaches has revolutionized the way we address biological circuits and their complex interrelation during infectious processes. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underpinning pathogen-host interaction (PHI) is now dealt with in the context of systems biology, which is critically dependent upon our ability to analyze Omics data (whole genome sequence, whole exome sequencing, RNA-seq, proteomics, etc.) derived from both the pathogen and its host. The Institut Pasteur de Tunis (IPT) has for long been working at the interface of PHI, aimed at better delineating critical aspects governing pathogenicity and disease transmission. Through this twinning project, referred to as PHINDaccess (Pathogen-Host INteraction Data access), IPT intends to empower its capacities to efficiently exploit the extraordinary potential of Omics data generated in the context of PHI studies. PHINDaccess should in fine streamline the discovery of critical regulatory interactions, thus allowing for the rational identification of putative biomarkers, drug targets and/or lead vaccine candidates. PHINDaccess main objectives are threefold: (i) endow IPT researchers with advanced knowledge and skills in Omics science, (ii) provide IPT with an efficient high-performance bioinformatics environment, and (iii) ambition to make IPT a regional flagship for excellence in innovative Omics research with increased networking and openness to the socioeconomic sector. To achieve this goal, IPT will twin with world-renowned European centers, namely the Institut Pasteur, the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, the Center for Genomic regulation, and the Robert Koch Institute, with whom previously EC-funded collaborations have been successfully achieved.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

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.

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.
