EPIC Unravelling the eukaryotic post-transcriptional regulatory code

Coordinator: VIB VZW (BE)

Genomes encode instructions for cells to regulate gene activity in response to their environment. However, and despite its importance for biology, medicine and biotechnology, the underpinning regulatory code remains undeciphered. Gene regulation consists of two major steps. First, genes are transcribed into mRNA. Second, post-transcriptional mechanisms regulate mRNA stability and the rate at which it is translated into proteins. This second step of gene regulation is still poorly understood because relevant parameters such as mRNA half-life, mRNA protein binding and subcellular localization a…

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: €10.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2024-07-01 to 2030-06-30.
