Last week, I had the pleasure to visit the lively community of scientists involved in the #HorizonEU project “Providing cutting edge cancer research services across Europe”. canSERV
Led by the Research Infrastructure BBMRI-ERIC, canSERV is a unique #ResearchInfrastructures project providing to EU researchers the chance to use borderless more than 400 front-edge instruments and services. The final goal is to unchain #CancerResearch in Europe by democratising the access to the latest technologies available in EU. Selected scientists can travel and use the facilities with no costs. This is a key aspect of the Horizon Research Infrastructure programme for TransNational Access (TNA) offered by #INFRASERV projects.
In canSERV, 18 partners, including 13 EU Life sciences Research Infrastructures, and their scientists are helping EU researchers and small medium enterprises (SME) to answer most prominent questions on personalised oncology, understanding the mechanisms of cancer, patient care, develop clinic applications from research and training the next generation of cancer researchers.
All aspects of oncology research are covered from provision of disease models, personalised oncology, biomarker research, digital and translational medicines services, access to samples as well as support for organisation of clinical trials or ethics and legal issues.
The project is still ongoing, researchers have the great opportunity to apply to the next open calls and to get the chance to turn ideas into scientific evidence. If so, stay connected 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMF8c9xu
canSERV fits well with the aim of the #EUCancerMission and with Europe’s beating Cancer plan to support initiatives for a wide impact on citezens and their health for prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment and quality of life of patients and survivors.
#canSERV_AM24 has come to a close!
Prof. Jens K. Habermann from BBMRI-ERIC just gave final remarks.
We thank all participants for their active contributions, fruitful discussions and continuing engagement!
We look forward to continue our service provision in year 3 to serve the #cancerresearch community!
Great update! Exciting to see you moving forward with such promising developments.
