INDICAR Programme – Interdisciplinary Cancer Research is an EU COFUND Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme of the University of Vienna.
The INDICAR Programme – Interdisciplinary Cancer Research is an EU COFUND Programme (FP7-PEOPLE-2013-COFUND - Marie-Curie Action, grant agreement no 609431) of the University of Vienna. The priority area of this programme is cancer related research. The INDICAR Programme is led by the conviction that an internationally attractive postdoctoral fellowship must provide an excellent postdoctoral exper
ience including a well-developed research capability. The programme contributes to the education of highly qualified researchers in the field of basic and applied cancer research and will provide novel knowledge and applications. The INDICAR Programme covers a wide spectrum of research areas relevant for the European Research Area (ERA) including areas of biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, chemistry, genetics, physics, and nursing sciences. Cancer is a complex form of disease with serious implications not only for the affected individuals, but also for societies and health systems in Europe and world-wide. Cancer remains one of the main challenges of biomedical research and health sciences. Importantly, despite great research effort, various forms of cancers are increasing in the absolute numbers of cancer cases, morbidity and deaths; cancer is characterised by clinical heterogeneity, caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors, most of which have not yet been identified or fully understood. Therefore, interdisciplinarity in cancer research is key to beat this disease.
