Research training using lotus japonicus: a model legume for functional genomics

Project objective

A rigorous training program is central on this project. The partners constitute a multidisciplinary group of European scientists that have devoted their research careers to understanding mutualistic symbioses. Their expertise covers the disciplines of molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, proteomics, genomics, and bioinformatics. They will provide state-of-the-art training in these disciplines with some of the best research facilities in the world. Trainees will gain research experience in at least two major disciplines by being placed in two laboratories during the course of their training. Training will be enhanced by specialist practical workshops, annual meetings of participants, and conference participation. The training program will enable young scientists to play leading scientific roles in the post-genomics and will enhance Europe's ability to benefit from the enormous amount of data arising from functional genomics.
