Introduction to EuroDYNA page 1

The EuroDYNA research programme deals with cell nucleus architecture.

It encompasses research about the 'how' and 'why' of the precise spatial organization of DNA, nuclear proteins and other building blocks. On top of that the dynamic processes within the cell nucleus, by which cell division, gene expression, DNA repair and other essential life systems take place, are investigated.

The programme has a highly multidisciplinary profile. Each project involves research groups with a biological biomedical, biochemistry and/or biophysics background. How the direction by the cell nucleus is implemented, how it can get out of hand, and purposely influenced, is not only of great fundamental value to science, but will almost certainly of great societal value as well. A number of studies have medical problems concerning important diseases or phenomena as a starting point.
