📺 Curious to see SR-Tiget scientists on air? Like every year, many researchers of our community will speak about #genetherapy and #rarediseases during the Fondazione Telethon fundraising TV marathon starting tomorrow. Communicating science to the general public is an essential part of the role of scientists and a skill of pivotal importance that is often not nurtured enough. If you as researcher have the chance to be involved in #publicengagement activities, do not miss the opportunity to increase public understanding of science and #inspire future generations of scientists!   👇 Find below the schedule of events with the contribution of SR-Tiget scientists

This week is National NAIDOC Week and a time for us to celebrate the rich cultural heritage, achievements, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. NAIDOC Week dates back to 1938 when Aboriginal leaders gathered for the Day of Mourning, calling for full citizenship status and improved lives for First Nations people. Join us in celebrating all First Nations people as the first people to live on the beautiful lands on which we reside, and the ongoing excellence of First Nations communities who have over 60,000 years of knowledge and connection to Country. The 2024 NAIDOC theme is ‘Keep the Fire Burning! Black, Loud & Proud’, a call to honour the enduring spirit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. As acknowledged in the Australian Government's National Strategic Action Plan for Rare Diseases, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are a priority population of the rare disease sector. While Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are not necessarily at greater risk of rare diseases, several factors increase the potential impact of rare diseases on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The lack of research into rare diseases means our knowledge on which rare diseases are most prevalent among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is incomplete. Given the genetic basis of most rare diseases, research exploring this is vital.

The kick-off meeting of the EUnetCCC joint action is taking place. As mentioned recently by the Italian Minister of Health during the closing session of JANE- EU Joint Action on Networks of Expertise on Cancer, JANE-2 will develop the "software" (Networks of Experts on Cancer) necessary to support the "hardware" (Comprehensive Cancer Centres) development fostered under the EUnetCCC/CraNE Join Action. Together, these two actions, in which I'm happy to represent the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto, will establish the framework for the future of collaborative cancer care and research across Europe. #EUCancerPlan #EUBeatingCancer Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto Direção-Geral da Saúde CINTESIS - Center for Health Technology and Services Research RISE - Health Research Network

There are so many events during #JMPweek in January that it will be hard to choose which ones to attend. One event I'm saddened to miss is FreeMind Group's Non-Dilutive Funding Summit. "Come together with hundreds of other innovators in the life science industry to hear the authorities at funding agencies like NIH, BARDA, DoD, and more, discuss their research funding priorities, their variety of funding programs, application processes, submission tips, and more." https://lnkd.in/gE-ig5QC #funding #research

Twenty projects from Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington have been awarded grants in the latest round of Te Pūtea Rangahau a Marsden, the Marsden Fund.    Standard grants, which provide up to $960,000 over three years, were awarded to 11 projects as diverse as research into the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics, enhancing the measurement of reputation, and how 18th century poety influenced settlers' treaty making with Indigenous peoples.    Fast-start grants, worth $360,000 each, were awarded to 9 projects, covering topics such as investigating digital experiences for people with ADHD, protection of infants from infectious disease, and the rise of indigenous non-religion.  https://lnkd.in/g4pTMkgX

The ZebraFish African Network (ZeFAN) is as a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the use of ‘zebrafish’ as a research animal model in Africa; raise awareness on the benefits of zebrafish applications in biomedical and healthcare research and promote the development of zebrafish research infrastructure in Africa. ZeFAN was conceived as a network of researchers and research centers in Africa that are working to promote the use of zebrafish for research. The ZeFAN will provide training programs and resources to scientists in Africa who are interested in learning how to use zebrafish for research. Join the sensitization and awareness promotion webinar on the application of zebrafish in Biomedical and Healthcare research in Africa, to be held on the 31st of October, 2024 on Zoom at 8:30am -10:30AM GMT.

Introducing EUREMAP: our newest initiative to advance marine bioprospection 🌊 We are thrilled to announce the launch of EUREMAP, a groundbreaking project poised to revolutionize the discovery of new marine products by establishing a comprehensive pipeline of advanced research services. At the heart of EUREMAP lies a collaborative effort that brings together four European research infrastructures: EMBL, EU-OPENSCREEN, EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre and ELIXIR. Together, these infrastructures unite to form a powerhouse team of experts in marine bioprospection, screening, and biodata analysis. We aim to unlock the vast potential of the ocean's resources, leveraging cutting-edge technologies and expertise to drive impactful discoveries. Stay tuned as we embark on this remarkable journey to explore, innovate, and create a sustainable future for marine industries worldwide!
