"Scientists from the CRG awarded with the prestigious grants from the Human Frontier Science Program for basic research collaborative projects"

Scientists from the CRG awarded with the prestigious grants from the Human Frontier Science Program for basic research collaborative projects 
 
Maria Pia Cosma and Matthieu Louis, two scientists from the CRG, have been awarded with two of the 25 grants for basic research collaborative projects that Human Frontier Science Program has granted this year. The grants obtained by Cosma and Louis amount to 250.000 and 350.000 USD per year for a period of three years, respectively.
 
The awarded projects focus on dissecting the molecular mechanisms regulating somatic cells reprogramming, for the project coordinated by Pia Cosma; and understanding the odor recognition process in natural environments, in the case of the project in which Matthieu Louis participates. Louis lab is part of the EMBL/CRG Systems Biology Research Unit, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN).
 
In 2010 call, 55 research grants for international and multidisciplinary collaborative projects have been submitted, from which 25 have been granted.
 
About HFSP
The HFSP is an international grant program to promote the progress of the best basic research in life sciences. The program is funded by governments of several countries and by the European Union.
 
The HFSP fellowships are granted every year to the best international and multidisciplinary collaborative projects in basic research, leading several scientists with much different expertise to work together on a common goal that, otherwise, could not be faced by a single laboratory.
