Interplay of genetic, nutrient and lifestyle factors on incidence of coronary disease: EPIC-Heart (EPICHEART)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

A major new frontier in biomedicine is to identify interactions of specific components of nature and nurture in determining risk of complex diseases. Coronary heart disease (CHD) - the single leading cause of death in Europe - is jointly determined by genetic and lifestyle factors. It is unknown, however, how diet, nutrients, and lifestyle factors modulate genetic susceptibility. For scientific an ...

Proteomics Research Infrastructure Maximising knowledge EXchange and access (XS) (PRIME-XS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

Genome sequencing initiated a new age in biology. Now, the emphasis is on the biological interpretation of the genome: zooming on the biological functioning of the gene-products, i.e. the proteins, emerging into a filed termed proteomics. Protein levels depend not only on mRNA levels, but also on translational controls & regulated degradation, making the measurement of expression at the protein le ...

Personalised and intergrated cardiac care: \nPatient-specific Cardiovascular Modelling and Simulation for In Silico Disease Understanding and Management (euHeart)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a significant impact on the European society in terms of mortality, morbidity and allied healthcare costs. The opportunity of multi-scale modelling spanning, sub-cellular level up to whole heart is to improve CVD outcomes by providing a consistent, biophysically-based framework for the integration of the huge amount of fragmented and inhomogeneous data currently av ...
