META-BRAIN Deciphering METAstasis of lung cancer to BRAIN and developing new therapeutic approaches via a human metastatic cascade platform
Coordinator: SABANCI UNIVERSITESI (TR)
Brain metastases have a poor prognosis and are associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate in cancer patients. The metastatic pathways and the role of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during metastasis are not known. There is a need to better understand cancer brain metastasis and develop effective therapeutics. With META-BRAIN, I will create a human-based in vitro platform that spans the entire cancer cell journey from lung to brain and use it to address three key questions: (1) How does cancer metastasize to the brain? (2) What is the role of the BBB in cancer metastasis to the brain? …
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: €1.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2024-08-01 to 2029-07-31.
