European Partnership for Personalised Medicine

Joint Transnational Call

‘Identification or Validation of Targets for Personalised Medicine Approaches

(PMTargets)’

Personalised Medicine (PM) represents a paradigm shift from a “one size fits all” approach to an optimised strategy for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease for everyone, based on their unique characteristics, including biological features (e.g. phenotype, endotype, genotype), as well as lifestyle and environmental factors. PM puts the patient at the centre of healthcare, aiming for optimised health promotion, treatments and management of disease or predisposition to disease. Today, PM has been advancing rapidly and the range of technologies, methodologies and information utilised is much broader, supporting improved healthcare, diagnostics and tailormade treatments, including rehabilitation, and prevention strategies

ISIDORe Open Calls

Deadline: Open while funding remains available

Respiratory Pathogens - A large number of pathogens target the human respiratory tract, resulting in a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations including life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). While serious respiratory infections are predominantly caused by RNA viruses, other types of pathogens can be involved. The modes of transmission of respiratory pathogens often give them a significant epidemic potential The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in these respiratory pathogens.

Vector-Borne Pathogens and their Vectors - The geographic and host ranges of vector-borne diseases are expanding, mostly due to anthropogenic factors. With rising temperatures and changing weather patterns, the risk of these diseases affecting increasingly large areas of the world will continue to rise, as reflected by the record number cases of dengue (including non-imported ones) and West Nile virus observed in Europe in 2022. The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in the causative agents and vectors of these fast-spreading diseases

Other Pathogens with Epidemic Potential - Will the next global infectious threat be an orthopoxvirus, or an enterovirus? Will it be even caused by a known pathogen? Can we be ready for the next pathogen X? The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in epidemicprone pathogens, including pathogen X.
