Chan Zuckerberg Initiative 

Single-Cell Analysis of Inflammation


The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) invites applications for collaborative pilot projects focused on the role of inflammation in maintaining health and triggering disease.  

This RFA is centered on single-cell analysis of inflammation and aims to:
  1. Increase knowledge about cells that mediate inflammation across multiple tissues, including what cell types are involved, their molecular properties, and how they or their interaction partners change in various inflammatory conditions
  2. Develop tools and resources to study specific cell types in inflammatory processes, such as shared tissue resources or new tissue and organoid models.

CZI will accept collaboration applications that include two or three principal investigators (PIs).

Horizon 2020 Spotlight

 

 

Horizon 2020 - Crowdhelix – Collaboration Intelligence
Searching for collaborations? Want to publish your expertise?

Ben-Gurion University has recently joined the Crowdhelix platform to enable researchers to find opportunities within the Horizon 2020 work programs and widen their existing networks. Crowdhelix is an Open Innovation platform connecting an international network of universities, research organisations, & companies.
Participating in the platform networking opportunities ("Helixes") and events can assist in identifying possible collaborators and facilitate the setup of Horizon 2020 project consortia.

The Crowdhelix is divided into "Helixes" and currently host 21 active "Helixes", which are international communities of researchers and innovators collaborating on a particular topic (Digital, Energy, Food, Health etc.)

Each Helix is a different research area where you can: 
  • Search for potential collaborators
  • Publish your expertise for others to view
  • Publish research opportunities for your lab/research group (PhD and Post-Doc opportunities) 
Crowdhelix website 
The Helixes

Horizon 2020 – Upcoming Crowdhelix Events
Health Helix Event, October 24-25, 2019, Stockholm, Sweden
Food Helix Event , October 30-31, 2019, Milano, Italy

For Horizon 2020 guidance and for the full call text, please contact Ephrat Messing
