The Cross Talk project is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, that brings together 8 academic participants, 2 industrial partners and 3 associated partners. Their association promotes complementarities of expertise in several scientific research fields, supporting an early-stage training program.
Cross Talk has the overall objective to achieve major breakthroughs in the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the dialogue between the intestinal microbiota and hosts. To reach this aim,Cross Talk will:
• Decipher the molecular mechanisms involved in the microbiota-host recognition
• Reveal how the bacterial signals are integrated by the different players of the mucosal immune system
• Validate the cross-talk mechanisms identified in the previously described steps in vivo. The expected outputs are new knowledge and applications for the food and drugs industry.
Cross Talk aims to rise a new generation of young scientists, well trained to sustain the emergence of metagenomics, a new supra-discipline calling for competencies in microbiology, cell biology, immunology, human physiology, high throughput technologies and bioinformatics. In this respect, Cross Talk will provide individual training through research projects and organize network meetings,
spring schools and workshops.
