In collaboration with the PSL-Qlife Institute at Institut Curie in Paris, QBI announced a RFA in 2020 aimed to connect the quantitative biology worlds at UCSF and PSL-Qlife through a funding mechanism, "Quantitative Approaches for Studying Complex Biological Phenomena RFA". Four grants were awarded to collaborating researchers based at QBI and PSL-Qlife. 

Co-organized by Drs. Bruno Goud and Nevan Krogan, the QBI/Qlife Collaborative RFA committee is inviting RFA recipients from QBI-UCSF and Qlife to present their progress on their collaborative proposals. 

Funded proposals:

Shaeri Mukherjee (QBI) and Bruno Goud (Qlife): "An investigation into how SARS-CoV-2 hijacks Rab GTPase function to promote virion assembly and exocytosis"

Judy Sakanari (QBI) and Gilles Gasser (Qlife): "Novel Bioorganometallic Drugs to Treat Neglected Tropical Diseases"

Orion Weiner (QBI) and Hervé Turlier (Qlife): "Quantitative approaches for studying complex biological phenomena"

Steve Altschuler (QBI) and Auguste Genovesio (Qlife): "Deciphering spatial patterning in the gut epithelium by computational tissue shuffling"
