Released the 1st research center "open science" of Brazil | EXAME.com

[From Google's English] "Identify the human genome key proteins for the development of new drugs and discover how to make the most important plants for drought-resistant agriculture are the goals of the newly created Biology Center Kinases Protein Chemistry, State University of Campinas (Unicamp ), whose official presentation took place on Tuesday (10/03). Supported by FAPESP through the Partnership for Technological Innovation (Pite), the center will work on a model of open science (open access to knowledge), integrating the network of the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC), a public-private partnership that brings together scientists , pharmaceutical companies and non-profit organizations that support research ... Faced with a scenario of climate change, in which extreme events are likely to become more frequent, the goal is to find out how to increase agricultural production and at the same time, reduce the consumption of water .  To this end, research will target a group of enzymes known as kinases and to be responsible for regulating important processes in the human organism as well in plants - including division, proliferation and cell differentiation - are considered potential targets for the development of drugs.  The agreement signed on Tuesday in Sao Paulo provides a contribution of $ 4.3 million from FAPESP, plus $ 1.9 million from Unicamp and another $ 1.3 million of the GSC.  Research results will be available to the worldwide scientific community without the obstacle imposed by patents or any other intellectual property agreement, as already happens in the other two GSC research centers ..."
