Non-Invasive Optical Biopsy for Cancer Assessment using ultra high resolution Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (CAReIOCA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Along the cancer care workflow, existing preoperative and intraoperative procedures such as the identification of small tumourous areas or the precise resection of tumors show significant fail rates, due to the inability of current imaging techniques to perform a reliable in situ diagnosis. Moreover the complete pathological diagnosis, often based on histology slides preparation, is usually only a ...

Manufacturing Error-free Goods at First Time (MEGAFIT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Today, Europe’s leading position in manufacturing of high-precision metal parts is being threatened by developed non-EU countries that catch up quickly on product quality at low cost. If no further action is taken, loss of jobs and GDP are at risk.To face global competition, a breakthrough is needed in tackling the following 4 challenges:1) High number of defects2) Many costly, energy consuming fi ...

Mechanisms to Attack Steering Effectors of Rheumatoid Syndromes with Innovated Therapy Choices (Masterswitch)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Objective: To delineate the biological and molecular pathways that initiate and drive chronic inflammatory disease and to transform the knowledge obtained into the development of novel anti-inflammatory interventions. Focus will be given to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) since longitudinal data indicate that intensive treatment can prevent persistency and chronicity. State of the Art and beyond: The ...

High Productivity Electron Beam Melting Additive Manufacturing Development for the Part Production Systems Market (FastEBM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Electron beam melting additive manufacture is used to produce successive layers of a part in a powder bed and offers the ability to produce components closest to their final dimensions, with good surface finish. At this time the process is faster than any other technique of comparable quality, however the parts are not produced at sufficient rate to make them economically viable for any but very h ...

No Pain during infancy by adapting off-patent medicines (NeoOpioid)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Preterm and newborn infant may suffer from pain in the same way as adults. They are even more sensitive to pain due to immaturity of endogenous modulation. Thus, they should have the same human right to be alleviated from pain. The overall aim of this project is to assess effects and safety of opioid treatment in very preterm up to full term newborn infants in relation to pharmacokinetics predisp ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Entry of Enveloped Viruses (Virus Entry)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Virus infections are a major cause of diseases and death among men and animals. The recent outbreak of SARS and the danger that an avian influenza virus may become pandemic, have clearly shown that members of any virus family can potentially turn into a pathogen. To combat virus infection and propagation, systematic and comprehensive studies both on viral components mediating virus-cell interactio ...

Neurotransmitter Cys-loop receptors: structure, function and disease (NeuroCypres)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

Cys-loop receptors (CLRs) form a superfamily of structurally related neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, comprising nicotinic acetylcholine, glycine, GABA-A/C and serotonin (5HT3) receptors, crucial to function of the peripheral and central nervous system. CLRs cover a wide spectrum of functions, ranging from muscle contraction to cognitive functions. CLR (mal)function is linked to various disord ...

Multi-Scale Modeling of Nano-Structured Polymeric Materials: From Chemistry to Materials Performance (NanoModel)

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

The practice of adding micron sized inorganic filler particles to reinforce polymeric materials can be traced back to the early years of the composite industry. With synthetic methods that can produce nanometer sized fillers, resulting in an enormous increase of surface area, polymers reinforced with nanoscale particles should show vastly improved properties. Yet, experimental evidence suggests th ...
