Endocrine Abstracts

The MRC currently operates a ‘highlight notice’ in systems biology for medicine. Highlight notices are requests for applications through the normal response mode route – they represent a priority but do not have a specific budget attached. This notice is of considerable relevance to endocrinology research, as will be discussed at the March meeting. MRC-funded endocrinology researchers are already beginning to use systems approaches with some success, but there is an opportunity for these approaches to be used more widely in the field. More details on the highlight notice can be found at http://www.mrc.ac.uk/Fundingopportunities/Highlightnotices/index.htm
