Geometric analysis in the Euclidean space (ANGEOM)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

"We propose to study different questions in the area of the so called geometric analysis. Most of the topics we are interested in deal with the connection between the behavior of singular integrals and the geometry of sets and measures. The study of this connection has been shown to be extremely helpful in the solution of certain long standing problems in the last years, such as the solution of th ...

Phase I/II Gene Therapy Trial of Fanconi anemia patients with a new Orphan Drug consisting of a lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene: A Coordinated International Action (EUROFANCOLEN)

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

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by the early development of bone marrow failure and increasing predisposition to cancer with age. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is the only curative therapy for hematopoietic manifestations of FA, although associated with complications arising from myeloablation, graft versus host disease and increased inciden ...

Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

Natural sensory feedback for phantom limb pain modulation and therapy (EPIONE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"Amputation of a limb may result from trauma or surgical intervention. The amputation traumatically alters the body image, but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part. In 50-80% amputees, neuropathic pain develops, also called phantom limb pain (PLP). Both peripheral and central nervous system factors have been implicated as determinants of PLP. Also, PLP may be triggered by ph ...

A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

Development of mouse mutant resources for functional analyses of human diseases - Enhancing the translation of research into innovation (INFRAFRONTIER-I3)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The mouse shows great similarities in development, physiology and biochemistry to humans, which makes it a key model for research into human disease. The major challenges for mouse functional genomics in the 21st century are to:• Develop a series of mutant alleles for every gene in the mouse genome• Determine the phenotypic consequences of each mutation• Identify mouse models for the complete dise ...

Enabling the drying process to save energy and water, realising process efficiency in the dairy chain (ENTHALPY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Saving energy and water in the Dairy industry, by introducing innovations in the processing plant. Namely RF heating, solar thermal energy, mono-disperse atomising, dryer modelling, inline monitoring, cleaning with enzymes and membrane technology. With these technologies energy and water loops are closed instead of lost in the plant. These technologies will be demonstrated in pilot facilities.The ...

Studies on a cohort of Serbian children exposed to x-irradiation to determine the contribution of the non-coding genome to susceptibility at low doses (DARK.RISK)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"The epidemiological study of Tinea capitis (ringworm) patients has proven useful for the study of carcinogenic effects of low dose radiation. In Dark.risk we will develop a new epidemiological cohort based upon the 24 000 cases irradiated in childhood that we will document to create the Serbian Registry of Tinaea Capitis Children (SRTCC). Unlike many other epidemiological cohorts SRTCC can be use ...
