The FAIRY project, coordinated by INESC-ID and funded by OSCARS, a new Horizon Europe Grant, aims to enhance YEASTRACT+, a platform by ELIXIR, whose Portuguese node is hosted at BioData.pt. By investigating and storing yeast gene activity data, the project will help to improve yeast-based production methods towards a circular bioeconomy and speeding up finding new antifungal drug treatments. Led by Pedro Monteiro, researcher in the area of Automated Reasoning and Software Reliability (ARSR), the project started on November 1st, has a funding of €115K, and will last for 12 months in partnership with Instituto Superior Técnico. 🔗 To know more👇 https://lnkd.in/dKJ-usnR #Yeast #Bioeconomy #GeneResearch #HorizonEurope #INESCID
