The Reproductive Biology Early Research Training network (REPRO-TRAIN) aims to provide all the elements required to train the next generation of researchers with the latest skills to solve the current societal problems in male reproductive biology (Andrology). The decline in sperm counts and concomitant increase in testicular cancer demands research in this field as an urgent priority. Spermatogenesis is the essential physiological process for male gamete production. It also provides a ideal paradigm model system to study cellular development and differentiation; necessary for an understanding of dysfunction. An innovative aspect of this ITN is to harness Systems biology into Reproductive Science. Here, we offer a high calibre, multidisciplinary research environment involving frontier omic approaches in male reproductive biology for the first time with the aim of identifying the gene networks that are deregulated in the infertile testis. The REPRO-TRAIN programme will integrate this highly interdisciplinary training with knowledge transfer to strategic stakeholders. We will include universities and research institutes with internationally recognized experience in postgraduate training, hospitals recognized for high quality clinical training and key private companies. This trans-national, inter-disciplinary research network will provide a robust platform for the success of the proposed ITN. Ten ESR and four ER researchers will perform studies in genetics and epigenetics, molecular male reproductive medicine, molecular and structural biology, and biotechnology with hands-on training in cutting-edge technologies relevant to current molecular-genetic and medical research. A clear definition of their Personnel Career Development Plans, training in complementary skills allied to business and the coordination between the elements that compose this plan are detailed herein. ver más
