Molecular Reclassification to Find Clinically Useful Biomarkers for Systemic Autoimmune Diseases (PRECISESADS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

We concur to the IMI on “Reclassification of SLE, connective tissue diseases and RA” call by presenting a proposal aimed at using the power of OMICs, and bioinformatics to identify new classifications for diseases known to share common pathophysiological mechanisms. Such knowledge has not been applied to individual patients, depriving them from potential benefits in terms of the use of new therape ...

Early Prevention of Diabetes Complications in people with Hyperglycaemia in Europe (E-PREDICE)

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

"Background: A significant proportion of pre-diabetics, show macro and micro vascular complications associated with hyperglycaemia. Although many trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions in diabetes prevention, no trial has evaluated the extent to which mid- and long-term complications can be prevented by early interventions on hyperglycaemia.Aims: To ass ...

TOWARDS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY OF PERSISTENT LIFE-THREATENING FOOD ALLERGIES (FAST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2017,

The FAST project aims at the development of safe and effective treatment of food allergies. It targets persistent and severe allergy to fish and fruit. Besides persistence and severity, this choice is based on prevalence and the importance of these foods for a healthy diet. Classical allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) for treatment of food allergy using subcutaneous injections with food extract ...

High Performance, Cloud and Symbolic Computing in Big-Data problems applied to mathematical modeling of Comparative Genomics (MR.SYMBIOMATH)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Large scale genomics projects exploiting high throughput leading technology have produced and continue to produce massive data sets with exponential growing rates. So far, only a small part of this data can be abstracted, managed and processed, giving an incomplete understanding of the biological process being observed. The lack of processing power is a bottle neck in acquiring results. Comparativ ...

Magnetic-PCR: An ultrasensitive methodology for Breast cancer detection and characterization (Magnetic_PCR)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The Magnetic-PCR project propose a brand-new and ultrasensitive methodology for detection and classification of breast cancer subtypes based on detection of specific genes expression. For this, the project develops a new “magnetic relaxation switch” (MRSw) biosensor based on superparamagnetic nanoparticles to improve the sensitivity of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for detecting nucleic aci ...

Development of sophisticated dendrimeric nanostructural materials with potential applications in drug allergy diagnosis: Towards immunoassays and cellular tests (basophil activation tests) (Dendrimmuneassays)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Jan 26, 2015,

Nowadays drug allergy is considered a major public health problem in developed countries. Its correct diagnosis is very important for the adequate prescription of drugs to avoid risks for the patient. However, the adequate diagnosis is in certain cases difficult to address. This research aims at the development of sophisticated nanostructural materials with potential applications in drug allergy d ...

Combing social interaction and long term monitoring for promoting independent living (Giraff+)

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

Description GIRAFF+ develops a system for early detection and adaptive support to people's changing needs related to ageing. The Giraff+-system consists of a network of home sensors that measure e.g. blood pressure and temperature, or detect e.g. whether somebody occupies a chair, falls down or moves inside a room. The data from these sensor ...
