Summary
The aim of the programme is to create networks of complementary research groups in cellular communication and growth control, with an emphasis on fundamental biological mechanisms regulating cell growth, differentiation and death. The projects financed by the programme are focused on angiogenesis, regulation of cell growth and steroid receptor function, which are extremely active and competitive research areas where collaboration and networking will be of utmost importance in a small research community such as Sweden’s. Moreover, these topics are highly relevant to the Swedish pharmaceutical industry.
