CodeAge

We are establishing the foundations for systems biology approaches of the chronic DNA damage response (DDR) in ageing by integrating research from basic mechanisms to translational research and clinical applications. We are creating an excellent European research network dedicated to the training of 13 Early Stage Researchers (ESR) and 1 Experienced Researcher (ER) in key technologies promoting their independent career and enabling them to achieve their own scientific goals and enhance their future employment prospects. To reach this goal, we aim at establishing platforms of excellence for biological tools, technology, training and dissemination that will form the core of the CodeAge ITN. Our target is to transform long-term collaborations into a stronger intellectual and training network and build links between the participating labs and the industry (SMEs) and thus provide complementary ESR training in academia and the private sector.
