This just in: continued funding to four competence clusters of the Finnish Flagship Programme! Their progress and performance was found to be excellent.   The following Flagships were granted continued funding: 🔹Atmosphere and Climate Competence Center (ACCC) 🔹GeneCellNano – Gene, Cell and Nano Therapy Competence Cluster for the Treatment of Chronic Diseases 🔹InFLAMES – Innovation Ecosystem Based on the Immune System 🔹UNITE – Forest-Human-Machine Interplay – Building Resilience, Redefining Value Networks and Enabling Meaningful Experiences.   ⚓️Our funding for the Flagships comes to 42 million euros in 2025–2028. The continued funding was decided in connection with the mid-term review, which assessed the progress of the Flagships selected in the third call of the Finnish Flagship Programme and their plans for the coming years.   ⚓️The Flagships have been very successful in their first two years and their future plans are promising. The review was carried out by an international panel, which also interviewed representatives of the Flagships.   ⚓️The review material included the original application, a report on the past two years, a stakeholder survey and the new application focusing on the plans for the coming years.   ⚓️The Flagships represent an effective mix of close cooperation with business and society, adaptability and a strong commitment from host organisations.   ⚓️They create future know-how and sustainable solutions to society’s challenges, promoting economic growth by, for example, developing new business opportunities.   Find out more in our press release; link in the comments ⬇   #FinnishFlagships #ResearchFunding #Science #research #ResearchImpact GeneCellNano | InFLAMES Research Flagship | Tampere University | University of Helsinki | University of Eastern Finland | University of Oulu | Aalto University | Suomen Punainen Risti, Veripalvelu | Turun yliopisto - University of Turku | Åbo Akademi University | Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) / Luonnonvarakeskus (Luke) | Maanmittauslaitos, National Land Survey of Finland

💡 How can jellyfish research lead to biomedical breakthroughs? 🔬 Like many deep-sea creatures, Aequorea victoria, or “crystal jellyfish,” give off a greenish-blue light when disturbed. But unlike other bioluminescent animals, these North Pacific jellies produce a substance called “aequorin," which can be further isolated into “green fluorescent protein,” or GFP. Both substances have important biomedical applications, such as tracking cancer cells, identifying environmental toxins, bio-imaging, and tracking the movement of calcium in cells. Synthetic GFP is now made in biomedical laboratories. These bioluminescent jellies had intrigued scientists as far back as 1921, and the hard work paid off. By the 1990s, research into aequorin had led to crucial scientific discoveries and life-saving diagnostic tools– and Nobel Prizes in 2008. But that might just be the beginning! As recently as 2020, new discoveries were being made about the species in this photo, Aequorea australis, a southern Pacific species that encodes even brighter fluorescent proteins than its northern cousin! #WeirdOcean #SmallButMighty #MarineBioBreakthroughs 📸 by Larry Madin © #WHOI

There are three phases to bioprospecting: collection, scientific research and analysis, and commercialisation. EUREMAP brings together 4 European research infrastructures that will ensure that our service pipeline supports you from the beginning to the end of your marine biodiscovery activities: 1st ) EMBL and ELIXIR will be responsible for exploring the genomic content of organisms and explore bioprospecting using bioinformatics approaches. 2nd ) The EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre will provide access to organisms for systematic analysis. Together with EU-OPENSCREEN, they will conduct bioactivity profiling to understand the performance of molecules and their application in industry. The ability to test a wider range of bioassays will enhance the discovery of novel compounds, such as: - new human and animal medicines (anti-cancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant) - novel compounds with potential applications as cosmeceuticals, for aquaculture, anti-fouling and antibiofilm, among others.

🚀 New research group at the Leibniz-HKI: Phagosome Biology and Engineering We are pleased to announce that the new Thuringian research group “Phagosome Biology and Engineering” has been established at the Leibniz-HKI in Jena since the beginning of 2024! Many thanks to the state of Thuringia for generously funding this innovative project. 🔎🔬 Leijie Jia’s group focuses on the still unexplored interactions between fungi and hosts in the context of #phagocytosis in order to gain deeper insights into phagosome biology. Phagocytosis is an immune reaction in which phagocytes ingest and digest pathogens. However, there is an increasing number of fungi that have developed mechanisms to evade this process. As recently as October 2022, the WHO published a list of particularly critical fungal pathogens. Every year, these pathogens cause potentially life-threatening diseases in millions of people worldwide. Existing antifungal drugs only have a limited effect on such resistant pathogens and new drugs are not yet available. ⚔️🍄 One of the group’s aims is to understand the mechanisms by which fungi manipulate and suppress the host’s immune response. These findings will be used to develop new strategies to better combat fungal infections. We are more than excited about the upcoming findings of our new research team and look forward to a shared scientific future at the #LeibnizHKI! 🙌 🔜 Stay tuned for more updates!   👉 Click here for the full article: https://lnkd.in/eUrZj_a4 The research group “Phagosome Biology and Engineering” is financed by the Free State of Thuringia with funds from the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+).
