EMMASERVICE Servicing the European Biomedical Research Community: Archiving and Dissemination of Mouse Models of Human Disease

Coordinator: CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE (IT)

The mouse shows great similarities in development, physiology and biochemistry to humans, which makes it a key model for research into human disease. The major challenges for mouse functional genomics in the 21st century are to:1) Develop a series of mutant alleles for every gene in the mouse genome2) Determine the phenotypic consequences of each mutation3) Identify mouse models for the complete disease spectrum in humansTo exploit this emerging resource, mouse models must be preserved and made available to the European biomedical research community. Building on EMMA's previous achievements a…

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.

EU contribution: €8.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2009-01-01 to 2012-12-31.
