RxmiRcanceR Tumor suppressive microRNAs for cancer therapy

Coordinator: THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM (IL)

The challenge for cancer therapy involves hampering the mechanisms by which the normal gene expression machinery is taken over to allow the aberrant appearance of cancer driving genes. I propose exploiting the therapeutic potential of a special class of tumor microRNAs (miRs) that function as natural post-transcriptional tumor suppressive regulators of many genes in key pathways. These anti-cancer effectors represent an inherent organismal property that I propose to augment and thereby translate into a form of systemic anti-cancer therapy. First, focusing on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), I …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €2.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2018-09-01 to 2024-08-31.
