Brain barriers training (BtRAIN)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
The brain barriers function to protect the central nervous system (CNS) from neurotoxic compounds. By the same traits they unfortunately block delivery of drugs to the CNS thus hindering proper diagnosis and effective treatment of neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. The unusual complexity of the brain barriers has severely hampered progress in the market of ...

Training and research in Listeria monocytogenes Adaptation through Proteomic and Transcriptome deep Sequencing Analysis (List_MAPS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
List_MAPS is a network dedicated to the training of innovative young researchers in the field of Microbiology and Systems Biology. It focuses on Listeria monocytogenes, an ubiquitous pathogen that is in the EU the leading cause of mortality and food recalls due to foodborne pathogens, costing the EU millions of euro per annum in medical care and associated costs in the food sector. ESRs will devel ...

Anti-tick Vaccines to Prevent Tick-borne Diseases in Europe (ANTIDotE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
Background Ixodes ricinus transmits bacterial, protozoal and viral pathogens that cause Lyme borreliosis, babesiosis and tick-borne encephalitis respectively and exceedingly affect Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). During feeding, ticks introduce salivary proteins in the skin that interfere with host defense mechanisms. However, in animals repeated tick infestations as well as vaccination against ...

Improving the resistance of legume crops to combined abiotic and biotic stress (ABSTRESS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
ABSTRESS applies combined, integrated systems biology and comparative genomics approaches to conduct a comprehensive study of the gene networks implicated in the interaction of drought stress and Fusarium infection in legumes. It uses Medicago truncatula as a model to rapidly identify characteristics for introgression into elite pea varieties and a field test of their performance against existing ...

STRATEGY TO INHIBIT TGF-Beta IN LIVER DISEASE (IT-LIVER)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Chronic liver diseases (CLD) and their end-stages, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide with enormous socio-economic costs. Patients with liver cirrhosis are at high risk of deadly hepatic failure and over 80% of HCC develop on a cirrhotic background. HCC ranks as the 5th most common cancer and with >600,000 deaths per annum it const ...
