Neuropathic pain: biomarkers and druggable targets within the endogenous analgesia system (NEUROPAIN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Neuropathic pain has a high incidence in Europe and often affects the patient’s emotional balance and quality of life. Recent meta-analyses have shown that conventional analgesic drugs are not sufficiently effective in these patients and are limited by serious side effects. The search for new analgesics is extremely difficult despite identification of several new potential targets and enormous inv ...

"Clinical and public health research to improve maternal, newborn health and to control sexually transmitted infections" (MNSIRSES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"The overall aim of the proposed staff exchange programme is to establish a long lasting collaboration between Moroccan, South African and European research teams involved in clinical epidemiological and public health research. This effort should ultimately lead to improved mother and child health and better control of sexual transmitted diseases. The proposal is therefore structured in seven work ...

BIOIMAGE-Neuromuscular Diseases (BIOIMAGE-NMD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
BIOIMAGE-NMD will develop and apply imaging technology to monitor response to novel therapies in neuromuscular diseases (NMD) and will use Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) as an exemplar disease. DMD is well characterised genetically and clinically but to date a disease modifying treatment is not available. One of the most promising developments for future treatment of NMD is RNA modulation throu ...

Epigenetic Training Network - Innovative techniques and models to understand epigenetic regulation in the pathogenesis of common diseases (EPITRAIN)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
"Despite the past century witnessing considerable advances in our understanding of genetics, the success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in detecting putative causal variants has been tinged with disappointment as the effects found have been modest. Epigenetics promises a novel biological foundation of a new way of looking at common diseases because it responds to the environment and gov ...

Training network for next generation vaccinologists (VACTRAIN)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Vaccines are the most cost-effective health interventions available (WHO). The impact of vaccination on the health of the world’s population cannot be overstressed. Vaccinolgy is the multidisciplinary discipline of developing vaccine interventions it combines knowledge from basic sciences, medical sciences, public health and social sciences. Ideally a vaccinologists would be able to have a general ...

To decipher the optimal management of systemic sclerosis (DESSCIPHER)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The current approach to diagnosis and management of the rare disease systemic sclerosis (SSc) is based on American College of Rheumatology criteria with low sensitivity and few validated recommendations for the therapy of the disease and its manifold organ manifestations. To overcome these shortcomings, the DeSScipher project will use the multinational, prospective and open EUSTAR (Scleroderma Tri ...
