First call for proposals - Major Federating Program on "Links between infection, nutrition, metabolism and cancer" (GPF LINMEC)

The Major Federating Program on "Links between infection, nutrition, metabolism and cancer" (GPF LINMEC) is one of three large-scale transversal research projects launched by the Institut Pasteur.

Major Federating Programs support the development of new collaborative projects and provide opportunities for internal and international conferences. They also encourage recruitment strategies based on interdepartmental collaboration. These programs provide a framework designed to maximize the impact of fundamental, mechanistic or applied research for human health and clinical developments.

The aim of the GPF LINMEC program is to encourage interdisciplinary research and foster new partnerships in this field between teams working in different disciplines. GPF LINMEC will focus on emerging issues, new clinically relevant trends and novel or unconventional approaches in the field.

Eligibility: GPF LINMEC projects must involve members of at least 2 research units, laboratories or 4-/5-year groups. One of these entities must belong to the Institut Pasteur in Paris. The other(s) may be from the Institut Pasteur in Paris or from another of the 32 institutes in the Institut Pasteur International Network
