Epigenetic Training Network - Innovative techniques and models to understand epigenetic regulation in the pathogenesis of common diseases (EPITRAIN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"Despite the past century witnessing considerable advances in our understanding of genetics, the success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in detecting putative causal variants has been tinged with disappointment as the effects found have been modest. Epigenetics promises a novel biological foundation of a new way of looking at common diseases because it responds to the environment and gov...

Total Diet Study Exposure (TDSEXPOSURE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Total Diet Studies (TDS) allow getting information on real dietary exposure to food contaminants consumption (heavy metals, mycotoxins, POPs...) and estimating chronic exposure to pesticide residues in food and food additives intake. TDS consider total exposure from whole diets and are based on food contamination as consumed rather than contamination from raw commodities, thus ensuring a realistic...

Semantic Infostructure interlinking an open source Finite Element tool and libraries with a model repository for the multi-scale Modelling and 3d visualization of the inner-ear (SIFEM)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

The clinical evidence indicates that the number of people with all levels of hearing impairment and hearing loss is rising mainly due to a growing global population and longer life expectancies. Hearing loss caused by pathology in the cochlea or the cochlear nerve is classified as sensorineural hearing loss. The study of the normal function and pathology of the inner ear has unique difficulties as...

Systems biology towards novel chronic kidney disease diagnosis and treatment (SysKID)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 10% of the population. Besides eventual progression towards end stage renal disease CKD impacts the patient’s quality of life by causing serious comorbidities including cardiovascular complications and bone metabolism disorders. On the everyday clinical level early stage diagnosis and tailored treatment of CKD are still inadequate. In addition, CKD seems ...

Development of OPN-305 as an orphan drug for the treatment of Delayed Graft Function post solid organ transplantation (MABSOT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as the need for dialysis within seven days of renal transplantation (DGF promotes allograft rejection, requires prolonged dialysis and hospitalisation, and increases the likelihood of graft failure and ultimately the duration of renal graft survival-expectancy. The incidence of DGF occurs in 21-44% of cases following cadaveric renal graft. Several rare dise...

Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study (COGS)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

The overarching goal of COGS is to identify individuals with an increased risk of breast, ovary and prostate cancer. Furthermore, we will evaluate the effect of inherited genetic variation on tumour characteristics and clinical outcome. We will do this through quantifying the role of genetic and environmental/lifestyle risk in the largest data set ever generated. In all, we will include over 200,0...

Chromatin diseases: from basic mechanisms to therapy (DisChrom)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The scope of this ITN is to promote research and training in the field of chromatin diseases. Chromatin diseases (CD) are genetic pathologies resulting from mutations in structural components of chromatin or in enzymes that biochemically modify chromatin, altering chromatin status and thereby causing drastic effects on gene expression. CD frequency ranges from very rare to quite common pathologies...

Therapeutic challenge in Leukodystrophies: Translational and ethical research towards clinical trials (LEUKOTREAT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

Leukodystrophies (LDs) are inherited rare neurodegenerative diseases of the white matter and its main component, the myelin, that are affecting predominantly children. Severity of the disease is related to the axonal dysfunction due to myelin deficiency or destruction. Despite the achievement of remarkable advances made in the past decade, there is no current curative therapy. The development of t...
