Training (2015-2019)
Oncornet is set up to provide young researchers (ESRs) with dedicated training. The ESRs will be trained as a cohort in all (mandatory) network-wide ONCORNET workshops with the aim of educating and training the next generation of GPCR/drug researchers who will have a multidisciplinary and intersectoral skill set. The workshops (W1-W7) share the same programme structure:
day 1: progress meeting – exchange of latest results, updates (together with supervisors and PIs)
day 2-3: training on scientific topics, including practical courses;
day 4-5: training on transferable skills
The schedule and details about the organizing entities are given below.
Workshop 1 – hosted by VUA in Amsterdam (5 days)
Workshop 2 – hosted by UGL in Glasgow (4 days)
Workshop 3 – hosted by arGEN-X in Gent (4 days)
Workshop 4 – hosted by CNRS in Montpellier (5 days)
Workshop 5 – hosted by UWUE and MPG in Würzburg and Bad Nauheim (5 days)
Workshop 6 – hosted by UNOTT in Nottingham (5 days)
Workshop 7 – hosted by VUA in Amsterdam (5 days)

My project will be focused on the role of #CXCR4/ACKR3/GRK2 -governed networks in cancer cell migration and metastasis.
New review on #gpcr structural dynamics out in COSB. Great teamwork with the @JanaSelent group. Thanks to @Lundbeckfonden and @novonordiskfond https://lnkd.in/eyjrA5V
A reminder that applications for our new Deputy Editor in Chief of #PharmacologyMatters close on Monday. https://buff.ly/2PNWf4V
ONCORNET2.0 is the successor to #ONCORNET. You can see some of the work of ESRs from the first ONCORNET in this special issue of @MolPharmJournal from 2019, with reviews on #CXCR4 and #ACKR3 structure and function: https://molpharm.aspetjournals.org/content/96/6
Hi everyone – we’re on Twitter! ONCORNET2.0 is a #MarieCurie ITN of 16 ESRs across Europe studying #chemokine #GPCRs #CXCR4 and #ACKR3 in cancer. Our projects cover molecular dynamics, medchem, #pharmacology through to translational work. Follow us for updates from our ESRs!
