Abstract
The Innovative MODels Initiative (IMODI) aims to facilitate the selection of new and effective treatments against cancer diseases. This French initiative aims to pool the resources allocated to the development and characterization of more than 200 experimental models predictive of cancer, a wide range of organic products and derivatives selection tests molecules. The project also includes the establishment of a centralized biobank of more than 40,000 biological samples and powerful analysis dedicated to the identification of tumor biomarkers from immunological and microbiome data.
Mission
IMODI’s aim is to pool the resources allocated to the development and the profiling of predictive experimental cancer models in eight cancer pathologies and a wide range of derivative biological products and tests for compound selection. IMODI also plans to create a centralized biobank and powerful data analysis tools designed to identify tumor and immunological biomarkers, as well as those coming from the gut microbiome.
Consortium History
2013: IMODI began with an expected duration of 84 months.
Financing
The global budget is €41.0 million of which €13.4 million is public funding.
