Welcome to ApopTrain! We are 15 partners from 9 European countries that cooperate in a collaborative research project to provide a platform for structured training, transfer of knowledge and career development in cell death research. The joint project lasts from April 2007 to March 2011, employing a total of 20 researchers. It is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Simone Fulda of the Children’s Hospital of Ulm University.

The network aims at exploring molecular mechanisms of cell death in order to develop better cancer therapies, i.e. new prognostic biomarkers and new cancer drugs. Translation of new knowledge “from bench to bedside” is fostered by interdisciplinary and intersectoral transfer of knowledge. Innovation and commercial exploitation is facilitated by academia-industry cooperation.
