Descrizione del progetto
Perseguimento dell’eccellenza e lo studio degli acidi grassi
Il perseguimento dell’eccellenza di ricerca e lo studio scientifico degli acidi grassi rappresentano la missione su due fronti del progetto FAT4BRAIN. In particolare, FAT4BRAIN svelerà il ruolo del metabolismo degli acidi grassi nello sviluppo dei disturbi neurologici attraverso un approccio farmacologico multidisciplinare e funzionale per promuovere ricerche all’avanguardia in questo campo. Il lavoro sarà condotto attraverso un partenariato collaborativo formato tra l’Istituto lettone di sintesi organica (LIOS, Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis) e partner all’avanguardia a livello globale, quali l’Università di Uppsala, l’Università Eberhard Karls di Tubinga e l’azienda Oroboros Instruments. LIOS svilupperà la capacità di ricerca attraverso seminari, riunioni di esperti e corsi di formazione per ricercatori nella fase iniziale. FAT4BRAIN coadiuverà l’istituto lettone a migliorare il suo profilo di ricerca.
Obiettivo
The Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (LIOS) is in great need to enhance its scientific performance and this could be accomplished through stronger international collaboration within the defined National RIS3 specialization in biomedicine. Latvia is performing well below the EU-average in terms of research excellence and innovation scoreboard. The FAT4BRAIN project builds cooperation between LIOS from the Widening region and world leading partners in translational neuropharmacology (Uppsala University), metabolism and neuropsychiatric imaging research (Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen) as well as innovative mitochondria research company (Oroboros Instruments). The aim of FAT4BRAIN is to establish a network of excellence focused on the pivotal and common role of fatty acid metabolism in the development of neurological disorders, an issue of utmost biomedical and societal interest. FAT4BRAIN will use a multidisciplinary, functional pharmacology approach to promote cutting-edge research in this field. A comprehensive set of activities including workshops, expert meetings and dedicated trainings for early-stage researchers will enhance knowledge-bridging and networking. FAT4BRAIN activities will specifically focus on strengthening capacities in areas that need improvement at LIOS, using the internationally-leading partners’ excellence and experience. Dissemination of results to the research community, industry partners and public through presentations at conferences, media outputs as well as high impact publications will be facilitated by the partners’ extraordinary reputation and high-impact profile. Importantly, the research excellence of the partnering institutions together with the targeted activities of FAT4BRAIN will help LIOS to improve their own research profile by increasing methodological capacities in preclinical and translational research and scientific output in terms of publications of highest quality and impact.
