THE PROJECT

Introduction

MASSTRUCT aims to establish a world class Biomolecular MS Research Unit of Excellence in the Biomedical Sciences Research Centre “Alexander Fleming”. Led by the ERA Chair, Dr Argyris Politis, and team will advance research in biomolecular MS and structural biology, invaluably improving our understanding of fundamental biological processes, and assisting the development of new drug discovery strategies.

THE PROJECT

Catalyzing Collaborative Innovation and Structural Biology Capacity in Greece

MASSTRUCT will not only open new directions for collaborative research and innovation at BSRC Fleming, but it will also add value to recent EU investments in related disciplines more widely in Greece, and via a network of recently awarded ERA Chairs in Greece focused on complementary structural and chemical approaches. This will build the critical mass for enabling structural biology in Greece, which in turn will leverage downstream research and funding at the interface between chemistry and biology.
