MitoSignal Mitochondrial signaling drives parasite differentiation

Coordinator: BIOLOGICKE CENTRUM AKADEMIE VID CESKE REPUBLIKY VEREJNA VYZKUMNA INSTITUCE (CZ)

Mitochondria perform three essential functions: ATP production, metabolite synthesis and cellular signaling. These signals, communicating the bioenergetic and biosynthetic fitness of the organelle to the nucleus, play a powerful role in determining cellular fate. The incorporation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) in cellular signaling is an interesting evolutionary outcome, as excess levels of these potent oxidizers have been implicated in many pathologies. While most research focuses on these outcomes of oxidative stress, much less is known about how mROS drive a range of phys…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €2.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-01-01 to 2027-12-31.
