The general goal of the
NCCR Frontiers in Genetics
– Genes, Chromosomes
and Development is to understand
the function and
regulation of genes during
the development of cells
and organisms. These fundamental
problems are
tackled at four different
levels, namely at the level
of genes, of chromosomes,
of the whole cell and of the
entire organism. In order
to reach excellence in this
domain, it is neccessary to
bridge the gaps between
these levels. The NCCR
Genetics contributes to diminish
these gaps by creating
a network of scientist,
which work together on
common projects (organized
as Work Packages,
WP). These WPs provide
an ideal forum for the indepth
discussion of scientific
issues by all interested
persons (including
post-doctoral fellows and
students). The aim of the
third phase (2009-2013) is
to complete the integration
of its educational and scientific
program within the
participating institutions.
In this view, three Work
Packages were implemented,
in collaboration
with the three institutions
of the Lemanic region and
the on-site technological
platforms that have been
developed by these institutions
in close contact with
the NCCR.
Some projects directly related
to technological development
are pursued in the
context of our technological
platforms. These platforms
provide shared common facilities
in which the latest
technologies in Genomics
and Bioimaging are available
for the regional scientific
community.
Another major goal is to
offer the best graduate
school in genetics. We believe
that to pursue top
science, we need to attract
the best students worldwide
and “create” the next
generation of top scientists
through teaching.
