transnational access Calls focussed on pathogenic agents

Provided by EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE ON HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AGENTS (ERINHA)

Erinha

To facilitate Transnational access (TNA) to ERINHA’s member facilities, ERINHA periodically opens a call for applications. Free of charge TNA includes administrative & logistical support, remote use of ERINHA high containment facilities, and technical & scientific support.
Transnational Access is either:
– In person/on-site, and provided to selected Users that visit the facilities, on the necessary conditions that the users have appropriate background and successfully complete the required training
– Remote, through the provision of remote scientific services to selected Users
Note: Remote access will systematically apply for in vivo experiments

Services for research, clinical trials and technology transfer

Provided by CIDSTEM - INTERDEPARTMENTAL CENTRE FOR STEM CELLS AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

unimore

CIDSTEM has a GMP-authorized facility for the implementation of advanced therapies and the technical and professional skills to manage the GMP laboratory and clinical trials of these therapies.
It therefore possesses the know-how and instrumentation necessary to offer companies:
-an implementation service for research and clinical trials, approved by regulatory bodies, of advanced therapies involving cell cultures in GMP;
-A consulting service for the technological transfer of clinical and preclinical trials in GMP and for the production of cell cultures for advanced therapies.
-An implementation service of research aimed at the industrialization of cell cultures for the development of ATMPs;
-a testing service of new technologies (nanomaterials, scaffolds for the realization of 3D cellular tissues, laboratory equipment, software for clinical trials and for the management of biological data, GMP compliant logistics, etc.).

Expert mentoring service for rare diseases researchers

Provided by EATRIS – EUROPEAN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE

EATRIS

Within the EJP RD, EATRIS offers an expert mentoring service for rare disease researchers. Advancing promising technologies and therapies towards clinical application is a complex undertaking. Academic research often lacks easy access to regulatory, therapy development expertise, manufacturing, and healthcare practice, leading to high failure rates.
The mentoring programmes provides mentoring on
* Translational feasibility
* Regulatory compliance
* Product classification
* Quality assurance and control
* Intellectual property strategy
* Suitability of analytical readouts
* Manufacturing
* Therapy development

Brokerage service Connection application

Provided by SOLVE-RD

Rare Diseases Models & Mechanisms – Europe (RDMM-Europe): This brokerage service will catalyse connections between people discovering new genes in rare disease patients and basic scientists who can study those genes and pathways in model organisms. Solve-RD brokerage service are to:
*provide functional validation of human genetic variants that cause disease;
*supplement clinical disease gene discoveries by generating functional data so as to get higher impact publications;
*develop insights into potential rationale for treatment (e.g. identification of candidate drug targets) via knowledge of a disease gene pathway; and
*establish longer term collaborations between basic scientists and clinicians that will lead to subsequent grant funding in support of outstanding basic and/or applied research

Paediatric pre-clinical and basic research services

Provided by EPTRI

EPTRI

EPTRI provides integrated services for research developments through its five Thematic Research Platforms according to their specific research area of expertise:
1. PAEDIATRIC MEDICINES DISCOVERY, which relates to the early-stage discovery and development of druggable molecular targets specific to paediatric disease, as well as discovery of new drugs specific for the paediatric population.
2. PAEDIATRIC BIOMARKERS, performing research to identify, characterise and validate new biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and personalised therapy in paediatric diseases; provide access to/deposit of annotated paediatric biological samples.
3. DEVELOPMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY, concerning studies on the pharmacological characteristics of drugs and related body response, based on the knowledge of growth and development/maturation of the organs and functions
4. PAEDIATRIC MEDICINES FORMULATIONS, which develops appropriate age-specific formulations and adequate delivery systems for preterm neonates, infants, toddlers, children and adolescents.
5. PAEDIATRIC MEDICAL DEVICES to cover the gap in medical devices tailored for children addressing the changes in growth and psychosocial maturation, physiology, and pathophysiology, and avoid inappropriate repurposing of adult technologies.
