Research Projects

This database contains information on EU funded dementia research projects, undertaken since 2007. It is the product of a mapping exercise of European funding programmes for dementia research conducted by Alzheimer Europe in 2020. This database is not an exhaustive resource of information. It contains information about dementia research projects that are funded by European programmes including FP7, H2020, IMI, JPND, AAL and the third EU Health programme. The mapping exercise and database were expanded in 2025, to include projects funded under Horizon Europe (including IHI). For these projects, the database reports the maximum contribution from the European Commission rather than the total project budget, so funding figures may not be directly comparable across all entries.

Unravelling the impact of nucleosome arrays on condensin by implementing an in-vitro chromatin-loop extrusion assay

ConNuc

The three-dimensional organization of chromosomal DNA is essential for critical genomic functions, including chromosome segregation, gene expression, and DNA damage repair. Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complexes, such as cohesin, the Smc5/6 complex, and condensin, are integral to preserving chromosomal architecture and supporting...
