LPBIOPHARMA - Lipids and Proteins in Biomembranes and Pharmacology

1010825262022Erasmus Mundus Design Measuresfinalized
Countries: FR · Grant: €55,000

Project summary

This project aims to promote excellence and internationalization of research education and training in the field of lipids and proteins in biological membranes. Membrane proteins are among the main targets of current drugs, and new therapies based on targeting of membrane lipids are promising. We aim to design a unique training program by coordinating theoretical and practical teachings to create a new educational framework in line with current medical issues and the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. World specialists in lipids and membrane proteins have been identified in three European Universities in France, Italy and Germany who wish to build an international Joint Master's degree on Lipids and Proteins in Biomembranes and Pharmacology: LPBIOPHARMA. The integrated Master's degree programme would combine a unique theoretical training allowing specialization in a cutting-edge field (nanophysics and neurotechnology) and a double technical training through two laboratory internships. This application to the EMDM program will provide a solid basis for a future EMJM application and will be open to institutions from other countries around the world.
