The Centre d''Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) is a research laboratory, the main activities of which are the setting up, storage, processing and distribution of DNA collections for the identification of genetic factors conferring susceptibility to complex disorders. These collections are established in partnership and full collaboration with external French or international research groups. The Foundation currently hosts the CEPH reference panel, the HGDP panel (Human genome Diversity Cell Line Panel) and several collections amounting mid-2008 to more than 250 000 samples. The goal of CEPH is to understand complex multifactorial disorders necessitates the establishment of structures facilitating access to large and integrated collection of individuals, characterized by a large number of variables emanating from different technologies and platforms. To achieve this goal, CEPH facilitates the setting up of integrated analyses combining clinical, genetic and environmental data, for the identification of susceptibility factors to complex multifactorial disorders Additionally, CEHP allows the reception, storage, processing and distribution of biological sample collections. At the same time, it promotes and participates in the design and setting up of genetic studies: - in partnership and full collaboration with external research groups - giving access to a large number of variables - in a sufficient number of subjects - allowing large scale integrated analyses

Supports research and scholarship to improve the quality of life by providing funding for grants in three program areas: studying complex systems, understanding human cognition, and mathematical and complex systems approaches for brain cancer. Types of awards include Fellowship Awards, Scholar Awards, and Collaborative Awards. * Studying Complex Systems: This program supports scholarship and research directed toward the development of theoretical and mathematical tools that can be applied to the study of complex, adaptive, nonlinear systems. It is anticipated that research funded in this program will address issues in fields such as biology, biodiversity, climate, demography, epidemiology, technological change, economic development, governance, or computation. * Understanding Human Cognition: This program supports research studying how neural systems are linked to and support cognitive functions and how cognitive systems are related to an organism's (preferably human) observable behavior. Studies with model organisms should justify why such models were selected and how data obtained from models advances our understanding of human cognition. * Mathematical & Complex Systems Approaches for Brain Cancer: (Collaborative Activity Awards grant type only.) Despite some recent cause for optimism for advancing the clinical treatment of brain cancers, for many patients brain tumor remains a devastating diagnosis. Progress against this disease has been stymied by limited understandings of the molecular, metabolic, and physiological characteristics of human brain cancers across multiple temporal and spatial scales and by the failure of many preclinical models to predict patient responses.
