Multi-dimensional omics approach to stratification of patients with low back pain (PAIN-OMICS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,
"Pain-OMICS is a multidisciplinary consortium of leading clinical, academic and SME researchers in pain and different omics technologies. Genome-wide association studies identified a number of loci associated with pain, but the level of knowledge about underlying mechanisms of different pain syndromes as well as individual variation in the disease course remains inadequate. Pain-OMICS will capital ...

Non-invasive screening of the status of the vascular system (NISTAS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
NISTAS aims at developing a novel medical instrument - VascuLight (VL) - for fast and contactless screening of the status of the vascular system of human patients.NISTAS responds to the need for fast, reproducible, and widely available measurement of the arterial stiffness that is a recognised predictor of cardiovascular risk and mortality, and a potential marker for monitoring the beneficial effe ...

INtegrated HEart Research In TrANslational genetics of dilated Cardiomyopathies in Europe (INHERITANCE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Inherited dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM) are monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 30 genes, characterised by substantial phenotype heterogeneity. DCM affects 1:2.500 individuals and is the major cause of heart transplantation and death for non-ischaemic heart failure in adolescents and young adults. Currently, less than 1% of patients with familial DCM are genotyped in Europe. The ...

Paediatric European Network Treatment AIDS Laboratory Network (PENTA LABNET) (PENTA-LABNET)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
"PENTA-LABNET(PL) is a coordination action aimed at improving the range of products and clinical use of antiretrovirals(ARVs) in HIV-infected children in resource-rich and resource-limited countries. This will be achieved through building capacity of laboratories to undertake co-ordinated studies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of new formulations and dosing and studies ...

Coeliac Disease – Management, Monitoring and Diagnosis using Biosensors and an Integrated Chip System (CD-MEDICS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
The overall concept of the CD-MEDICS IP is to develop a technology platform for point-of-care diagnostics, capable of simultaneous genomic and proteomic detection, with embedded communication abilities for direct interfacing with hospital information systems. This will be achieved by exploiting breakthroughs at the confluences of bio-, micro- and nano- technologies to create a low-cost non-invasiv ...

Natural course, pathophysiology, models for early diagnosis, prevention and innovative treatment of TNF Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome TRAPS with application for all hereditary recurrent fevers (EUROTRAPS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
The TNF Receptor Associated Syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare disease of innate immunity, caused by mutations in TNFR1. It is characterised by recurrent bouts of fever and pain and mainly affects patients of European ancestry. The development of renal amyloidosis in up to 20% of cases makes it a potentially fatal disease. Corticosteroids and anti-TNF therapeutics have not been consistently effective in c ...
