The Centre d''Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) is a research laboratory, the main activities of which are the setting up, storage, processing and distribution of DNA collections for the identification of genetic factors conferring susceptibility to complex disorders. These collections are established in partnership and full collaboration with external French or international research groups. The Foundation currently hosts the CEPH reference panel, the HGDP panel (Human genome Diversity Cell Line Panel) and several collections amounting mid-2008 to more than 250 000 samples. The goal of CEPH is to understand complex multifactorial disorders necessitates the establishment of structures facilitating access to large and integrated collection of individuals, characterized by a large number of variables emanating from different technologies and platforms. To achieve this goal, CEPH facilitates the setting up of integrated analyses combining clinical, genetic and environmental data, for the identification of susceptibility factors to complex multifactorial disorders Additionally, CEHP allows the reception, storage, processing and distribution of biological sample collections. At the same time, it promotes and participates in the design and setting up of genetic studies: - in partnership and full collaboration with external research groups - giving access to a large number of variables - in a sufficient number of subjects - allowing large scale integrated analyses

Special interest group that brings together program officers who have a shared interest in applying modeling and analysis methods to biomedical systems. The meetings are formatted to facilitate an open discussion of what is currently being supported, and for planning future directions in these areas. At each meeting, time is allotted to hear focused presentations from one or two participants to discuss issues relating to modeling and analysis across the government agencies. Discussions also occur online, and participants are informed of talks, conferences and other activities of interest to the group. IMAG recognized that the modeling community is on the forefront of thinking across the biological continuum, rather than just focusing at one scale or level of resolution. In addition IMAG identified a strong desire among modelers to form multi-disciplinary partnerships across varied research communities. Overall Intent of IMAG through the MSM Consortium is: * To develop new methodologies that span across biological scales * To develop multiscale methodologies applicable to biomedical, biological and behavioral research * To develop methodologies within the local multidisciplinary team and within the larger Framework environment * To further promote multiscale modeling through model sharing This wiki contains information relevant to the IMAG (Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group) and the MSM (Multi-scale Modeling Consortium).

At the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG), scientists are improving wheat and barley''s tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought, heat, salinity and nutrient toxicities. These stresses known as abiotic stresses, are a major cause of yield and quality loss throughout the world and cause significant problems for cereal growers. These scientists are developing the technologies and resources needed to produce new cereal varieties that allow sustainable farming to generate economic, social and environmental benefits to Australia. ACPFG research is helping to ensure Australia maintains its competitive position in cereal production. - Identify the genetic mechanisms that control tolerance to specific stresses and compare these with those controlling broad range tolerance to abiotic stresses - Use genome-wide analyses to define key cellular processes that enable adapted plants to withstand abiotic stress, and to apply that understanding to the genetic improvement of crops such as wheat and barley - Unravel regulatory networks that control plant growth under abiotic stress - Identify ways of manipulating these networks, through existing genetic diversity or through functional genomics technologies, to deliver tangible industry outcomes, namely cereal varieties better tailored to hostile environments

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on 05 01 2025. PhenX is a project to prioritize Phenotype and eXposure measures for Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS). Leaders of the scientific community will assess and prioritize a broad range of domains relevant to genomics research and public health. The PhenX Steering Committee (SC), chaired by Dr. Jonathan Haines, provides leadership in the selection of domains and domain experts. Members of the SC include outstanding scientists from the research community and liaisons from the Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health. Consensus measures for GWAS will have a direct impact on biomedical research and ultimately on public health. During the course of this project, up to 20 research domains will be examined, with up to 15 measures being recommended for use in future GWAS and other large-scale genomic research efforts. The goal is to maximize the benefits of future research by having comparable measures so that studies can be integrated. Each selected domain will be reviewed by a Working Group (WG) of scientists who are experts in the research area. A systematic review of the literature will guide the WGs selection of up to 15 high priority measures with standardized approaches for measurement. Selection criteria for the measures include factors such as validity, reproducibility, cost, feasibility, and burden to both investigators and participants. The scientific community will be asked to provide input on proposed measures. Consensus development is a key component of the project.

The Terry Fox Foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in discovery based research each year in Canada - all monies raised outside Canada must be distributed to (a) an institute approved by the Foundation and its advisors or (b) remitted to Canada. The Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) is a recipient of TFF funding for translational research. TFRI is an exciting new initiative whose goal is to translate rapidly today''s best science into better cancer treatment and diagnosis for all Canadians. The Institute will bring scientists and clinicians together across the country into a functionally integrated, geographically dispersed Institute with nodes in several provinces. Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope. Terry''s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometres (26 miles) every day for 143 days. Terry was forced to end his run on September 1, 1980 when the cancer spread to his lungs. By February 1, 1981, Terry''s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized - the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million. Terry died in June 1981. On May 26, 1988, The Terry Fox Run became a Trust, independent from the Canadian Cancer Society, and received tax-exempt charitable registration as a public foundation. In addition to our signature and long-standing National Terry Fox Run Day in September of each year, The Terry Fox Foundation is proud to include in its events portfolio The National School Run Day. The Foundation recognizes the duality of its mandate. Not only does it raise money for research, but it also continues to share the story of Terry Fox. The Terry Fox Foundation strives to maintain the heroic effort and integrity that Terry embodied. It is a grassroots organization that does not allow the Terry Fox name or likeness to be commercialized or conjoined with other worthy causes. To date, over $600 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry''s name.
