Genetic Control of Gene Expression in Cancer Risk (GenCaR)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Mar 18, 2017,

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, with more than 330,000 new cases diagnosed in the European Union in 2008. It is crucial to understand the genetic causes behind this fatal disease to better stratify women at higher risk and to reduce breast cancer incidence. Inherited susceptibility to breast cancer is largely due to polygenic variation, and only about 30-35% of fam ...

Electrokinetics across disciplines and continents: an integrated approach to finding new strategies to sustainable development (ELECTROACROSS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The socio-economic activities due to world development are promoting increasing pressures on land, creating competition and conflicts, resulting in suboptimal use of resources. Integrated planning and management of land resources is a top subject of Agenda 21 (managed by FAO), which deals with the cross-sectoral aspects of decision-making for the sustainable use and development of natural resource ...

Use of genomic and proteomic tools for the development of contaminant specific biomarkers for the environmental risk assessment of aquatic ecosystems (GENERA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The use of genomic tools is rapidly increasing in ecotoxicology, and results from transcriptomic and proteomic studies of the effects of environmental pollutants are becoming more and more available. Apart from the knowledge of the mechanisms involved in toxic processes, the aim of conducting research on genomic and proteomic level is the development of contaminant specific biomarkers for the ris ...

Development of new gene therapy approaches for the treatment of ocular neovascularization (EyeSee)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Ocular neovascularization (NV) is the pathological feature common to Retinopathy of Prematurity, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Age-related Macular Degeneration. Collectively, these diseases are the leading cause of blindness in developed countries, and even more relevant due to the increased life expectancy. Current therapies can delay the progression of the disease, but do not restore the vision alre ...

Morphological Impacts and COastal Risks induced by Extreme storm events (MICORE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The project is specifically targeted to contribute to the development of a probabilistic mapping of the morphological impact of marine storms and to the production of early warning and information systems to support long-term disaster reduction. A review of historical storms that had a significant impact on a representative number of sensitive European sites will be undertaken. The nine sites are ...
