INNOVATING THE HERITAGE RESEARCH SECTOR – PARTHENOS BEGINS ITS WORKFlorence, the cradle of the Renaissance, will host the kick-off meeting of the international project PARTHENOS

IMBB-FORTH will be the Coordinator for the Research and Training Network “Chromatin3D”Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH) were granted competitive funding of 3.782.583 Euros in total (1.221.547€ for IMBB-FORTH) for the proposal “Chromatin3D – Chromatin Dynamics in Development and Disease”.

IMBB researchers reveal a novel mechanism of long non-coding RNAs in the regulation of mammalian immune responsesResearch carried out at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, the results of which were published in the international scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”, revealed new mechanisms of gene mobility and transcriptional activation in the eukaryotic cell nucleus of immune cells.
