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 ...

Host and viral factors in acute hepatitis C (HEPACUTE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
Chronic hepatitis C is one of the most common chronic viral infections of humans and a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer. Still about 4 million new infections occur world-wide each year with 50-85% of patients progressing to chronic hepatitis C. Currently there is no marker to predict spontaneous viral clearance and to guide treatment decisions.The major objectives o ...

Genomic instability and genomic alterations in pre-cancerous lesions and/or cancer (GENINCA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"GENINCA will address two tumor entities, for which we have good access to pre-malignant lesions and in which genomic instability is a common feature: colorectal and liver cancer. Colorectal cancer amounts to 13.2% of all incident cases of cancer, the second most common form of cancer, surpassed only by lung cancer (13.3%). Liver cancer accounts for about 2% of total cancers, however, the most com ...
