MOGLYNET
PhD programme in DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT 2015-2019
Scholarship Programme Promoting Institutional Cooperation and Mobility for 12 early stage researchers
Mission
The mission of MoGlyNet is to define a joint doctorate educational training model in Drug Discovery and Development where Academia and Industry, supported by other institutions/organizations, join their forces for:
- Creating a common platform of knowledge and language for 12 early stage researchers(ESR) working in the Drug Discovery and Development area aiming to convey complementary Pharma-skills
- Exploiting this platform to train a new generation of cutting-edge researchers and professionals highly attractive for employment by the European Pharma-industry and regulatory authorities
- Establishing structures for long-term cooperation, strengthening the relationships among the leading Universities and Pharma-enterprises and to continuously develop the research training platform that European industry relies on

Research project
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in the western world. Thanks to cholesterol-lowering drugs, the lifespan and wellbeing of patients have been significantly improved. However, a large group of patients does not fully benefit from current lipid-lowering strategies.
Our multidisciplinary approach is focused on counteracting neovessel formation to prevent plaque rupture and its cardiovascular complications, thus leading to a more effective therapy for atherosclerosis.
Research methodology and approach
The MoGlyNet consortium is strongly multidisciplinary and takes advantage of a number of different state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies:
- Computational chemistry and synthesis
- Bioanalytics and biophysics
- In vitro and in vivobiological evaluation
- Imaging
- Metabolomic and Proteomic studies
- Oxidative stress studies
