Understanding the basis of cerebellar and brainstem congenital defects: from clinical and molecular characterisation to the development of a novel neuroembryonic in vitro model (CBCD)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Cerebellar and brainstem congenital defects (CBCDs) are heterogeneous disorders with high pre-and post-natal mortality and morbidity. Their genetic basis and pathogenetic mechanisms are largely unknown, hampering patients’ diagnosis and management and family counselling. This project aims at improve current understanding of primary CBCDs through a multidisciplinary approach combining innovative cl ...

Managing active and healthy aging with use of caring service robots (MARIO)

Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

MARIO addresses the difficult challenges of loneliness, isolation and dementia in older persons through innovative and multi-faceted inventions delivered by service robots. The effects of these conditions are severe and life-limiting. They burden individuals and societal support systems. Human intervention is costly but the severity can be prevented and/or mitigated by simple changes in self-perce ...

A European Platform of Integrated Information Services for Researchers in the Field of Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs Supporting Team and Project Building (RareDiseasePlatform)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

This project aims at creating a set of tools intended to facilitate collaborations between academic teams, SMEs and even major companies, in the field of rare diseases (RD). These tools will contribute to building up a community of stakeholders with the ultimate goal of speeding up RD research and development, providing diagnostic tools and therapies as quickly as possible. The specific objectives ...
