CaSR Biomedicine - Calcium Sensing Receptor
The CaSR Biomedicine European Training Network (ETN) is a fully translational project that utilises a single molecule, the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), influencing a range of physiological and disease processes, to develop a unique, strong multidisciplinary and intersectoral scientific training programme training 14 young scientists to become specialists in G protein-coupled receptor biology and signalling.
This European Network formed by 13 research groups from eight countries will undertake a systems biology approach to study the importance of cellular context in the functionality of the same molecule across different tissues (e.g. vasculature, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract) and pathologies (cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, sarcopenia, cancer) to identify novel therapeutic approaches of CaSR-targeting drugs that could be repurposed for the management of these major diseases.
The CaSR Biomedicine Network has received funding from the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions of the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme under REA grant agreement no. 675228.
The CaSR Biomedicine Network is a continuation of the previous Multifaceted CaSR project.

We congratulate Amirreza Mahbod for his PostDoc position in the group of Isabella Ellinger at the Medical University Vienna. His project is concerned with nuclei segmentation based on deep learning and aims at improving the software of TissueGnostics. Amirreza was the ESR at our industrial Partner TissueGnostics, where he focused on the development of an innovative solution for automated detection and segmentation of nuclei in microscopic images exhibiting extremely high density of cells. Such conditions are typically found in lymphatic tissue. Amirreza developed a powerful solution based on a Deep Learning framework. Following the CaSR project, TissueGnostics has implemented this algorithm into their StrataQuest image cytometry solution and it is now part of the current version of this high-end commercial package for tissue cytometry, available to the global community of researchers working with microscopic images of tissue section. This is just one yet brilliant example how the CaSR project has affected the scientific state-of-the-art on a global scale.
We congratulate Souvik Das for his new position as Higher Scientific Officer at the Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK and we wish lots of happiness in his marriage.
