INTEGRATA Kick-off Meeting
The INTEGRATA Kick-off Meeting was held at Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi in Camogli (Genoa), Italy on 10th December 2018 and was organised by the coordinating Institution, UNIGE with the support of INN-ACTA.
INTEGRATA is a MSCA-funded project aimed at providing a group of early stage researchers (ESRs) with a highly interdisciplinary and intersectoral training in drug discovery, focusing specifically on NAD production and on NAD/nucleotide signaling as targets for the development of new cancer therapeutics. INTEGRATA will train 14 ESRs in an overarching training programme involving training-by-research, joint courses of technical, scientific and transferrable skills, participation to public scientific events, and an intense intersectoral networking exchange plan (secondments). The INTEGRATA consortium encompasses academic institutions, research centers, and SMEs, all with proven experience in higher education and training, and state-of-the art scientific and technical expertise and infrastructures. Six countries are represented: Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Spain and France.

“Integrating chemical and biological approaches to target NAD production and signaling in cancer”
INTEGRATA is a European Training Network (ETN) funded in the framework of H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN programme. The INTEGRATA network aims at the education of promising young scientists who will learn the key steps of the modern discovery process of new drugs and therapeutic approaches in general (i.e. enzyme inhibition measurements, toxicities on cell cultures, preliminary pharmacological parameters, and in vivo proof-of-concept studies), with a main focus on NAD-producing enzymes and enzymes mediating NAD and nucleotide signaling in cancer treatment.
