TranSYS, coordinated by Prof. K Van
Steen (KU Leuven), will recruit 7 ESRs (Early Stage Researchers) to
highly skilled jobs in the new area of Systems Health developing tools
and approaches to exploit large and complex datasets, to advance
Precision (Personalised) Medicine in several disease areas (Five
positions closed during the first call).
The training programme and experience of
different international research environments cuts across traditional
data and life sciences silos. The emphasis on translational research
will support new collaborations between academics and the pharma and
health analytics sectors. Their ESR projects will advance the state of
the art on biomarker discovery, improve understanding of
disease-specific molecular mechanism and target identification for
optimal diagnostics, disease risk and treatment management, refine data
generation and their management (including warehousing, disease specific
and standardised approaches for data processing, visualization and
model development) leading to improved clinical study design, clinical
sampling and more targeted therapeutics.
This ETN (European Training Network)
will internationalise participants, and leverage EC (European
Commission) and industry sponsorship, to structure and expand the unique
training programme and advance emerging research areas, combining
wet-lab, clinical and Big Data resources with computational and
modelling know-how. To achieve a paradigm shift in research training
this ETN brings together international leaders in Preclinical Science
& Molecular Medicine, Systems Analytics, and Targeted Therapeutics,
from academia and industry. These experts are ideally positioned to
develop the proposed training programme and deliver a highly trained
workforce of next generation scientists, with the right mind-set,
knowledge and skills, at the interface of Translational and Systems
Medicine. The TranSYS training programme is designed to addresses a
critical skills gaps that is currently a bottle neck to advancing
Precision Medicine.
