Generation of AAV-based, arrayed genetic libraries for in vivo functional selection: an innovative approach to identify secreted factors and microRNAs against degenerative disorders (FunSel)

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

A foremost health problem stems from the burden of degenerative diseases, including heart failure, neurodegeneration, retinal degeneration and diabetes, essentially linked to the aging of the human population and the incapacity of post-mitotic tissues to undergo efficient repair. This is an ambitious, highly innovative project aimed at developing an in vivo selection procedure, based on gene trans ...

Towards the establishment of a permanent European Virtual Institute dedicated to Malaria Research (EVIMalaR) (EVIMalaR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

This is a proposal from 55 partners from 36 institutes to form a NoE that will seek to integrate European malaria research that is directed towards a better understanding of the basic biology of the parasite, its vector and of the biology of the interactions between the parasite and both its mammalian host and vectors. All the member institutes and researchers have demonstrated both their excellen ...

Targeting the miR-106b~25 cluster in pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy (paTCH)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

BACKGROUND: There is a tremendous need to develop novel therapies for heart failure. In particular, sustained pathological hypertrophy, a major predictor of this condition, is a complex process, which involves transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of the cardiac genome. There is now clear indication that, besides a few known transcriptional regulators, multiple, still poorly understoo ...

Poverty related Diseases College(International Programme on BioMedicine and Development) (PRD COLLEGE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"To bridge the gap between the biological sciences, health and development in Africa, a consortium is created and named the PRD College, which proposes to reorganise and educate young African and European scientists to perform research, on poverty related and neglected diseases (PR&ND) that is relevant to development. These diseases are common ground for both the African nations who wish to deve ...

Targeting Protein Synthesis in the Apicoplast and Cytoplasm of Plasmodium (MEPHITIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The protein synthesis machinery represents one of the most useful targets for the development of new anti-infectives. Several families of broadly used antibiotics (tetracyclines, macrolides, and novel glycopeptides like vancomycin, among others) exert their function by blocking the protein synthesis machinery. Doxicycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, remains a useful tool for the prevention of pal ...

Science and everyday life in Trieste (PROSIT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2009,

In Trieste as many as 37.1 out of 1000 workers are researchers, more than the average in the US (7.4), EU (5.0), Japan (9.2) and much more than the national average in Italy (3.3). This result is due to the fact that an increasingly important role has been played in Trieste since the 1960’s by specialized international institutes of advanced studies and applied research. These research centers hav ...
