Structural genomics and proteomics research: first joint meeting of European projects, Barcelona, 1-4 December 2004 (n.b.: new date)

Editorial

Bernard Mulligan

Europe has a very strong track record in basic research in the life sciences. In the “post-genomic era”, the character and needs of basic research in the life sciences are changing dramatically: it has become very multidisciplinary, the amount of data is increasing exponentially and huge investments in facilities are required.

Second call brings wave of top-quality projects

After rigorous evaluation, 32 new projects in the field of fundamental genomics have been shortlisted for funding following the second call for proposals (deadline 13 November 2003) under the FP6 priority area ‘Life Sciences, Genomics and Biotechnology for Health’.

The Weizmann View of Being Part of SPINE, by Joel Sussman

Joel L. Sussman

Being a partner in one of the first large-scale EC Scientific Integrated Projects -SPINE : Structural Proteomics in Europe has had a most significant impact on biotechnological research at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), in particular, and in Israel in general. Furthermore, through the close contact thus established with our European colleagues, some of our ideas have had an impact on the direction of structural proteomics in Europe.
