MARCAR bioMARkers and molecular tumor classification for non-genotoxic CARcinogenesis

Coordinator: NOVARTIS PHARMA AG (CH)

MARCAR aims to establish reliable early markers and molecular classification of tumors in non genotoxic carcinogenesis, applying a mechanism-based approach. Benefits are improved drug safety, more efficient drug development, and progress with 3 R issues. MARCAR focuses on rodent liver, the major target organ of non-genotoxic carcinogens (NGC). However, this approach will facilitate predictions for other organs. Innovative industry-relevant experimental models will be developed: (i) Transgenic mice nulled orhumanized for NGC-responsive nuclear receptors, (ii) transgenic mice excreting marker p…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €6.0M toward a total project budget of €13.1M — a funding rate of 46%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2010-01-01 to 2015-06-30.
