Synergistic Fouling Control Technologies (SEAFRONT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Marine biofouling, the unwanted colonization of marine organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater has a huge economic and environmental impact in terms of maintenance requirements for marine structures, increased vessel fuel consumption, operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and spread of non-indigenous species. The SEAFRONT project will aim to significantly advance the control of biofouling a ...

Coordinating Action Systems Medicine – Implementation of Systems Medicine across Europe (CASYM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The aim of CASyM is a combined large scale effort to sustainably implement Systems Medicine across Europe. For that purpose CASyM will function as a managing and coordinating platform in bringing together a critical mass of relevant European stakeholders such as Systems Biology scientists, clinicians, programme managers, industry/SMEs as well as healthcare providers and patient organizations. The ...

Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...

Uncovering the spatial nature of numbers: An investigation of its origins and neural basis (SpaNum)

Start date: Jul 28, 2012, End date: Jul 27, 2014,

Coding environmental information in spatial terms is a general propensity of our cognitive systems (e.g., the future is ahead of us, the past behind us). One prominent spatial coding is that of number. While it is now well established that adults’ processing of numerical information is accomplished by spontaneously deploying visuo-spatial mental resources, the specific nature, origins, and neural ...

Determining factors and critical periods in food habit formation and breaking in early childhood: a multidisciplinary approach (HabEat)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

HabEat will bring together 11 European partners from 6 European countries with a multidisciplinary approach (psychology, epidemiology, behavioural science, nutrition, sensory science) to enable a key breakthrough in the understanding of how food habits are formed (and can also be changed) in infants and young children. This will be done by combining epidemiologic studies based on existing human co ...

European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)

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

"European policy making is hampered by considerable uncertainty about the magnitude and nature of the impacts of long term exposure to air pollution on human health. ESCAPE is a collaboration of more than 30 European cohort studies including some 900,000 subjects. It is aimed at quantifying health impacts of air pollution and at reducing uncertainty. ESCAPE will also test new hypotheses on specifi ...

Real-time decoding of conscious and non-conscious perceptual events in the human brain (CODEC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The decoding of brain states using machine learning techniques has become a widely used approach in many areas of neuroscience research. The performance of the classifier under different conditions, as well as the "by products" of the decoding process, can be used to make inferences about how the brain encodes information. Decoding methods are also central to the development of non-invasive brain ...

Paediatric European Network Treatment AIDS Laboratory Network (PENTA LABNET) (PENTA-LABNET)

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

"PENTA-LABNET(PL) is a coordination action aimed at improving the range of products and clinical use of antiretrovirals(ARVs) in HIV-infected children in resource-rich and resource-limited countries. This will be achieved through building capacity of laboratories to undertake co-ordinated studies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of new formulations and dosing and studies ...

Development of culture conditions for the differentiation of hES cells into hepatocytes (LIV-ES)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"The liver is associated with many types of diseases which can only be treated by Orthotopic liver transplants. However, shortage of organ donors represents a major limitation for wide-application of this therapy. Additionally, expansion of fully-functional hepatocytes in vitro remains an important challenge for the drug discovery industry. Human Embryonic Stem cells (hESCs) offer a promising new ...

"Apoptosis systems biology applied to cancer and AIDS. An integrated approach of experimental biology, data mining, mathematical modelling, biostatistics, systems engineering and molecular medicine" (APO-SYS)

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

"A Europe-wide consortium of experimental biologists, biomathematicians, biostatisticians, computer scientists and clinical scientists will team up to approach cell death pathways in health and disease, placing particular emphasis on cancer and AIDS. The consortium will create a unique database integrating existing and accumulating knowledge on lethal signal transduction pathways leading to apopto ...
