SGC Frankfurt

 

The Structural Genomics Consortium at the Goethe University Frankfurt (SGC Frankfurt) is a research node of the SGC, an international public private partnership and open science network. The SGC catalyses new research areas of human biology by providing high resolution structure information, assay systems and chemical tools. The main focus of the SGC node in Frankfurt are protein kinases, proteins regulating the ubiquitin system as well as epigenetic mechanisms. The site coordinates the Innovative Medicine Initiative (IMI) Program EUbOPEN and it is a partner in the Target2035 initiative, two large international efforts with the goal covering the human proteome with high quality chemical tools.

New consortium EUbOPEN will provide tools to unlock disease biology – Congratulation to Stefan Knapp and colleagues from the Goethe University, who just received a prestigious IMI grant for a large-scale effort for the development of an open access chemogenomic compound libraries and chemical probes. The newly formed public-private partnership “Enabling and Unlocking biology in the OPEN” (EUbOPEN) was launched on 1 May 2020, with a total budget of 65.8 million euros covered by a grant from the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) and cash/in-kind contributions from EFPIA companies and IMI Associated Partners and contributions from partners outside of Europe.
