MERIC Mechanisms of Evasive Resistance in Cancer
Coordinator: UNIVERSITAT BASEL (CH)
Cancer is a major health problem due to the failure of current therapies to effectively eradicate the disease. Alternative signaling pathways compensate for a therapeutically targeted pathway, a process referred to as 'evasive resistance'. The identities of the alternative signaling pathways and functional interconnections that underlie evasive resistance remain widely unknown. We propose to integrate cutting-edge clinical, molecular, and computational sciences to understand the signaling defects that allow tumors to evade therapy. With its synergistic, interdisciplinary approach, the propose…
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: €11.2M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2014-05-01 to 2020-04-30.
