Mel-Immune An integrative genetic approach for the exploration of melanoma immunological interactions

Coordinator: WEIZMANN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE (IL)

Immunotherapy, which has revolutionized cancer treatment, largely relies on the immune system’s recognition of neopeptides, degradation products of altered proteins specific to cancer cells presented on their surface. In particular, cancer vaccines targeting neopeptides have shown promising clinical results. Yet, to optimize their efficacy and broaden their application, we need to decipher the nature of the cancer peptide landscape (immunopeptidome) and delineate the neopeptide properties required to induce a potent immune response. The overarching goal of this proposal is to provide an unpre…

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: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-10-01 to 2028-09-30.
