CGI-Clinics welcomes a new partner to the project: Institute of Applied Biosciences at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH)
The CGI-Clinics Project Consortium welcomes new project partner, the Institute of Applied Biosciences at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), which joined the project on 01 May 2023.
We took the opportunity to add this new partner to the Project Consortium thanks to the EU’s Hop On facility, which aims to widen participation in Horizon Europe projects like CGI-Clinics.
The Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas (CERTH), founded in 2000, is a leading Research Centre in Greece and in the EU. CERTH combines its unique research facilities and high qualified research personnel to transform scientific knowledge into innovative technological applications, aiming to respond to the needs of society at national and international level.
The addition of the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) to the Consortium will:
- complement existing expertise in the consortium with CERTH’s expertise on blood cancers,
- create synergies in patient empowerment techniques and policy-liaison initiatives, and
- integrate transversally in the different aspects of the project.
CERTH will lead the transversal Work Package 9, aiming to adapt CGI-Clinics to haematological malignancies. They will also help extend the concept of patient empowerment to clinicians by providing more efficient next-generation sequencing (NGS)-supported counselling, thus facilitating an understanding of the power of precision medicine to cancer patients and their families/carers. Importantly, they will also support the project through policy-liaison and connection with relevant European initiatives in NGS and oncology.
The newest CGI-Clinics partner organisation commented “The CERTH team is thrilled to join the CGI-Clinics Consortium and looks forward to making an impact on cancer treatment!
“Through its participation in CGI-Clinics, CERTH will mobilise its talent and expertise in biomedical research in a coordinated cutting-edge effort, towards ensuring high-quality healthcare in terms of tumour genomics interpretation.”
