Developing new therapies for Batten disease (BATCure)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

The goal of BATCure is to advance the development of new therapeutic options for a group of rare lysosomal diseases - neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) or Batten disease. There are > thousand affected across Europe, with a combined incidence of c.1:100 000. The NCLs are devastating and debilitating genetic disorders that mainly affect children, who suffer progressive dementia and motor decline, ...

"Health and the Understanding of Metabolism, Aging and Nutrition" (HUMAN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"Recently intense research identified around 4,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human age related diseases such as metabolic disorders. Despite their highly significant association to pathology, the functional role of these genetic variants is, in most cases, yet to be elucidated. The evolutionary distance of most animal models from humans represents a major limitation fo ...

Biomarkers of renal graft injuries in kidney allograft recipients (BIOMARGIN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

In renal allograft recipients, 10-year graft survival has not improved over the past decades. Histological examination of graft biopsies has long been the gold standard to confirm graft injuries, but biopsies are invasive and histological grading is not very robust. There is thus a need for robust, non-invasive methods to predict and diagnose acute and chronic graft lesions, to improve patient tre ...
