At this congress Slovenian and foreign researchers from 14 countries presented their latest achievements in the filed of genetisc in the form of 79 lectures and 56 posters. The best young researcher has been awarded with our traditional award Golden chromosome.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 228767232This contribution summarises the data and reviews the clinical application of cysteine proteases - cathepsins and their inhibitors in various types of cancer. The monograph is the result of research on proteolysis in cancer done during the five years of the duration of the EU 6FP-Integrated Project # 503297 with acronym CANCERDEGRADOME, carried out between 2004 -2008, being partner number 17 (out of 36 partners).
D.06 Final report on a foreign/international project
COBISS.SI-ID: 2371185The project aimed to reveal new targets of carcinogens and these targets include cell cycle and apoptosis proteins. The described molecular targets were identified and induced as a consequence of exposure to organoposphates, which are components of biological weapons and pesticides. Very important results of this CRP project is the cell based reporter syste for te presence of genotoxic agents, which is in the process of patenting (subitted by Metka Filipič ).
F.08 Development and manufacture of a prototype
COBISS.SI-ID: 25294553In 2007 we succeeded to get the five years bilateral project, which goal is long term collaboration between German and Slovene groups and institutions, working on modern trends in biology, such as systems biology and biology of cell therapy, such as stem cell therapy. The purpose of the project is to develop the applied research to the point of patenting and/or possible commercialization in the area of cell therapy of cancer and application of systems biology.
D.01 Chairing over/coordinating (international and national) projects
COBISS.SI-ID: 22609113During this period we have continued with regular monitoring of biological quality of Slovenian lakes, Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj and Lake Cerknica. The results are published in the Annual reports, submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Space in accordance with EU Water Directive.
