Mechanism-Based Integrated Systems for the Prediction of Drug-Induced Liver Injury (MIP-DILI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The current test systems employed by Industry are poorly predictive for Drug induced liver injury (DILI). The ‘MIP-DILI’ project will address this situation by the development of innovative preclinical test systems which are both mechanism-based and of physiological, pharmacological and pathological relevance to DILI in humans. An iterative, tiered approach with respect to test compounds, test sys ...

Vitamin D And LIfestyle Intervention for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Prevention (DALI)

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

Europe is facing a rapidly growing threat from Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which is undoubtedly associated with an unhealthy diet and a more sedentary lifestyle. Evidence is accumulating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may be playing a role in this process. Thus it provides a significant opportunity for preventing future T2D. Not only is GDM prevalence on the rise, but intrauterine ex ...

PoroElastic Road SUrface: an innovation to Avoid Damages to the Environment (PERSUADE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Low-noise road surfaces are recognized as a cost-effective tool for traffic noise abatement. The best performance can be achieved by optimizing surface texture and porosity. That way, a bottom line of a 3dB lifetime average reduction with respect to ordinary asphalt has been reached. Any progress must resort to another noise-relevant characteristic i.e. elasticity by which the noise due to tyre v ...

Proof Of Concept Use of MTH1 Inhibitors as New Treatments for cancer (POCUMINT)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"In our ERC grant GEnetic NEtworks as a tool for anti-CAncer Drug Development we used phenotypic screening and genetic networks to identify the DNA repair protein MTH1 as a critical component for cancer cell survival and we developed selective sub nM inhibitors to MTH1, which specifically kill cancer cells and tumours, whilst being less toxic to primary cells. Our approach provides a novel concept ...

Safety and quality assurance measures along the pellets supply chain (SAFEPELLETS)

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

Isolated incidents due to increased, toxic emissions in pellet storages have aroused great relevance and urgency on operational and customer safety in wood pellet supply chains. Reportedly two cases of death have occurred in large size vessels for ocean transportation and in harbour facilities. Another three incidents were reported in end-users´ storage rooms, the last of which resulted in the dea ...

Development of a practical and reliable ash melting test for biomass fuels, in particular for wood pellets (ASHMELT)

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

The utilisation of renewable energy sources is a considerable contribution to the EU 2020 targets, and the utilisation of solid biomass for heat production is of great relevance in this regard. The market for solid biofuels is growing rapidly, and the demand for raw materials is increasing. Consequently it is aimed at extending the raw material basis for biofuel production covering also wooden mat ...

Multi-sensor automated water quality monitoring and control system for continuous use in recirculation aquaculture systems (AQUALITY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

EU aquaculture currently produces around 1.3 million tonnes a year, with a value of some EUR 2.9 billion and employs about 65 000 people. This level represents 18 % of EU fish production but only 2 % of world aquaculture production. Catches of wild fish levelled off in the 1980s but between 1973 and 2003 world fish consumption doubled According to FAO estimates 47 % of all fish for human consumpti ...

Anticipating the Network of the Future - From Theory to Design (Euro-NF)

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

Future networks became a central topic with a large debate whether moving towards the new networked society will be evolutionary or disruptive. In the future networked society the physical and the digital worlds will merge based on the massive usage of wireless sensor networks. Objects will be able to identify and locate themselves and to communicate through radio interfaces. Self-organized edge n ...
