Molecular Targets Open for Regulation by the gut flora – New Avenues for improved Diet to Optimize European health (TORNADO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
"Europe is facing major diet related health problems. Attitudes to eating habits have to be changed and the benefits of alternative treatment regimes substantiated. This can only be achieved by providing guidelines regulating health claims based on scientific data. Thus, there is a unique opportunity to use gut flora in potential treatment regimes and as a preventive target for major diet related ...

Host and microbial molecular dissection of pathogenesis and immunity in tuberculosis (HOMITB)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
"Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading public health problem. About half of the 10% of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected individuals develop overt clinical disease, do so within two years of primary infection. The remaining half of the TB patients, develop clinical disease later, owing to “reactivation” of pulmonary TB. Of importance, it is not understood why only 10% infected individuals develop activ ...

Development of a new high throughput automated imaging system to carry out drug sensitivity measurements on primary leukemia/lymphoma cells to assist individualized assay guided therapy (AISAT)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"The aim of the project is to build a new robust prototype of a high throughput automated imaging system that can be used in routine clinical lab environment for gathering data on drug sensitivity patterns of primary leukemia/lymphoma cells. The device will assist individualized assay guided therapy. The laboratory at the host institute has recently created a new microculture system that allows vi ...
