SYSGENET - European systems genetics network for the study of complex genetic human diseases using mouse genetic reference populations
SYSGENET, a network of scientists, will contribute to the discovery of gene networks that are involved in the development of complex genetic diseases in human. Mouse genetic reference populations (GRPs) will be used as model systems to investigate the biological mechanisms and gene regulatory networks involved in infectious diseases, behavioural abnormalities, metabolic diseases, regeneration, and others.
The network will establish an infrastructure to provide the EU research community with access to existing and future GRP resources. In this way, SYSGENET will create a basis for the European research community to make major scientific contributions in the field of complex genetics, systems biology and development of sophisticated experimental model systems for the better understanding and treatment of human diseases. SYSGENET will also reach out to similar activities in the United States and Australia.

Network
The SYSGENET network consist of 28 partners in 17 countries.
It is coordinated by Klaus Schughart (Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, Braunschweig, Germany). An overview of the participating SYSGENET partners can be found here.

Funding
SYSGENET is funded through the COST framework (http://www.cost.eu/about_cost). COST is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science and Technology, which promotes and coordinates nationally-funded research in Europe, through funding of research networks. One of the key scientific areas covered is Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences (BMBS).
