Personalisation of tREatment In Cardiovascular disease through next generation sequencing in Adverse Drug Reactions (PREDICTION-ADR)

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

...seminate these findings not only to the scientific community but also to lay people and patient organisations. This genetic algorithm will be developed into a commercially available clinical test by Asper Biotech. As 7 Million individuals were treated with statins in the UK alone during 2012, the size of the potential market for this test is immense.

Circulating Tumor Cells TheRapeutic APheresis: a novel biotechnology enabling personalized therapy for all cancer patients (CTCtrap)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Chemotherapy is slowly being supplemented by a new generation of drugs that recognize specific targets in or on cancer cells and has proven to be more effective with markedly fewer side effects. During the course of the disease alternative oncogenic signaling pathways take over inevitably leading to drug resistance. As a consequence renewed tumor analysis is required to redefine the optimal treat ...

Good Practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine Research in the Post-genomic Era (GP-TCM)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"In contrast to the reductionist approach of Western medicine that is based on modern anatomy, cell and molecular biology, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses a unique theory system and an individualised and holistic approach to describe health and disease, based on the philosophy of Yin-Yang balance and an emphasis on harmony of functions. These two medicine systems disagree with each other i ...

High throughput molecular diagnostics in individual patients for genetic diseases with heterogeneous clinical presentation (TECHGENE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

"Since the sequencing of the human genome has been completed the demand for genetic analysis in the human health care system is drastically increasing, and the extension of molecular genetic diagnostics is urgently needed. However, the majority of genetic diseases is molecularly and clinically highly heterogeneous, and until recently the available techniques lacked the required capacity to analyze ...

GENE THERAPY FOR INHERITED SEVERE PHOTORECEPTOR DISEASES (AAVEYE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"The retina represents the visual sensory receptor of the nervous system (CNS). Inherited diseases like Retintitis Pigmentosa (RP) and Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), for which no therapies are available, are due to mutations in genes preferentially expressed in the photoreceptor cells of the retina. Vectors derived from the adeno-associated virus (AAV) efficiently transduce the retina of anima ...
