SIGMA-1 EUROPE COST Action Launched!


We are excited to announce the launch of COST Action CA23156 – SIGMA-1EUROPE, a groundbreaking initiative that unites researchers across 27 European countries to explore the sigma-1 receptor and its therapeutic potential. Officially launched on October 25, 2024, this network will foster interdisciplinary collaboration to advance scientific understanding of sigma-1 receptor in physiology and disease treatment.

Led by Dr. Tangui Maurice (INSERM, France), SIGMA-1EUROPE will investigate the receptor’s role in conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, and heart disease, while also developing innovative ligands and training the next generation of researchers. Over the next four years, our teams will work together to unlock new possibilities for improving human health.

Stay tuned for updates on research breakthroughs, collaborations, and upcoming events!

What is COST?

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
