The MEtabolic Road to DIAstolic Heart Failure (MEDIA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

More than 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present without a major deficit of left ventricular (LV) systolic function and are presumed to suffer from diastolic HF (DHF) because diastolic LV distensibility is usually impaired in these patients. The vast majority (~80%) of DHF patients is exposed to metabolic risk factors. The MEDIA consortium therefore investigates:1) how metabolic derangements c ...

InteGrated Laboratories to investigate the mechanics of ASeismic vs. Seismic faulting (GLASS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Earthquakes are potentially catastrophic phenomena that have a huge impact on the environment and society. Understanding the physical processes responsible for earthquakes and faulting requires high quality data and direct observations of the underlying phenomena. However, no direct measurements can be made at depth where earthquakes initiate and propagate. Our knowledge of the mechanical properti ...

"TARGETING HIV INTEGRATION CO-FACTORS, TARGETING CELLULAR PROTEINS DURING NUCLEAR IMPORT OR INTEGRATION OF HIV" (THINC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

"Standard therapy of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is based on potent cocktails of drugs targeting viral proteins. This treatment is associated with severe side effects and is almost unaffordable for the patients living in sub-Saharan Africa. Incomplete suppression of HIV replication results in drug-resistance. Therefore, a continued research effort is required to ...
