Biomaterials for Tracheal Replacement in Age-related Cancer via a Humanly Engineered Airway (BIOtrachea)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Age-related cancers, especially of the trachea, are neoplastic lesions that significantly impact upon the lives of thousands of European patients each year. Unfortunately, most present with inoperable lesions for which median survival is less than 12 months. Based on our previous clinically successful experiences with in vivo completely tissue engineered tracheal replacement in benign tracheal dis ...

End-user driven DEmo for cbrNe (EDEN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The accidental or deliberate release of CBRNE materials are low probability events that can have a significant impact on citizens and society. Whenever and wherever they occur, they usually require a gradual and multi-facetted response as they tend to provoke severe and unexpected physical, psychological, societal, economical and political effects that cross EU-borders. Successful CBRNE resilience ...

Establishment of Quality Assurances for the Detection of Biological Toxins of Potential Bioterrorism Risk (EQuATox)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The features of biological toxins like ricin, botulinum toxins, staphylococcal enterotoxins and saxitoxin place them at the interface of classical biological and chemical agents. They could be used for terrorist attacks on the basis of their availability, ease of preparation, the high toxicity and/or the lack of medical countermeasures. Some of the toxins are considered among the most relevant age ...

European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents (ERINHA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

In the context of the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases involving highly pathogenic microorganisms, European countries have to be well-prepared to face such threats. However, the Biosafety Level 4 (BSL4) capacity in Europe is not sufficient enough to cover the efficient development of diagnosis, prophylactic and therapeutics means against these pathogens. Moreover, there is no global co ...

Road-mapping study of CBRNE demonstrator (CBRNEMAP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The CBRNEmap will address the cross-cutting activity of the becoming CBRNE Demonstrator using a holistic approach, putting end-users, industrialists and other stake-holders together with members of the S&T community in the front seat from the start of the activity. The CBRNEmap will evaluate the complex matrix of temporal events (before, under and after), against sectors (law enforcement, Civil pr ...
