| Professor Aristides Eliopoulos coordinates a major European Commission FP7 capacities program aiming to enhance the University of Crete Medical School research potential in the fields of "Genomics" and "Regenerative Medicine". |
A competitive €3,040,000 capacities grant has been awarded by the European Commission to a team of 30 faculty members of the University of Crete Medical School led by Aristides Eliopoulos to enhance their research capability.
At the University of Crete Medical School, there have been concerted efforts to establish a multidisciplinary scientific environment which will foster excellence in research in areas of major biomedical importance, such as stem cell biology, autoimmune, cardiovascular, malignant and degenerative diseases. The awarded grant, code-named TransPOT (Translational POTential) aims to accelerate these efforts by enhancing the technological capability of the Institution in the fields of Regenerative Medicine and Genomics through the establishment of state-of-the-art infrastructure, attracting high-calibre scientists and by networking with major research entities in Europe. Through a coherent set of measures, TransPOT thus aims to unlock the regional research potential and achieve sustainable scientific excellence, serving as strategic investment for the region by bringing multiple scientific, healthcare, economic and social benefits.
