Frontiers of Functional Genomics (FFG)
Summary
Functional genomics, the exploration of gene function on a global scale, is currently at the leading edge of progress in the life sciences and medicine. The ESF Programme ‘Integrated Approaches to Functional Genomics’, which ended in October 2005, facilitated communication and interactions among European researchers and succeeded in engaging a wide audience, gaining considerable international recognition. This new programme will connect the most promising developments in functional genomics technologies with the expanding concept of systems biology, focusing particularly on applications in biomedicine, as well as the environment and implications for society at large.

FFG Press release A map of where proteins are located in tissues and cells could help scientists understand the molecular basis of diseases such as cancer For centuries man has had a uniquely close relationship with dogs – as a working animal, for security and, perhaps most importantly, for companionship. Now, dogs are taking on a new role... Impressive advances in our understanding of the genetic basis of disease were outlined at the 3rd ESF Functional Genomics Conference in Innsbruck, Austria Drug molecules seldom act simply on one protein but on protein complexes and networks. A deeper understanding of these ‘cooperative assemblies’ should lead to better targeting of drugs |
