Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe (COMBACTE-NET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The emergence of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is a global problem, having recently been elevated to the top three threats identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and subject of numerous national and international government activities, including the Trans-Atlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance established by the US and EU presidencies. The estimated costs of ARB are aro ...

Beta cell preservation via antigen-specific immunotherapy in Type 1 Diabetes: Enhanced Epidermal Antigen Delivery Systems (EE-ASI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2017,

Current approaches to improving glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes are centered on increasingly complex insulin delivery systems. However, less than 30% of patients can achieve target levels of glucose control with this approach even in a clinical trial setting and many patients are either unable or unwilling to make the personal commitment required. By contrast, preservation of even sma ...

Coordinating Action Systems Medicine – Implementation of Systems Medicine across Europe (CASYM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The aim of CASyM is a combined large scale effort to sustainably implement Systems Medicine across Europe. For that purpose CASyM will function as a managing and coordinating platform in bringing together a critical mass of relevant European stakeholders such as Systems Biology scientists, clinicians, programme managers, industry/SMEs as well as healthcare providers and patient organizations. The ...

NOROSENSOR - A real-time monitoring system for airborne norovirus (NOROSENSOR)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Gastroenteritis, caused by the airborne Norovirus, is the third most deadly infectious disease worldwide, infecting ~4% of the population annually, worldwide, and has related costs measured in billions € annually in the EU alone. Today, detection of airborne viruses can only be done in retrospect in the laboratory, which severely limits the ability to rapidly react and limit the spread of an outbr ...

Persistent virus infection as a cause of pathogenic inflammation in type 1 diabetes - an innovative research program of biobanks and expertise (PEVNET)

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

"Type 1 diabetes is caused by an inflammatory process which damage insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. It is one of the most common chronic diseases and its incidence is rapidly increasing. Due to its complications it causes a significant medical and economic burden to European society. A causal association between enterovirus and type 1 diabetes has become more and more likely. The aim ...

Semantic Infostructure interlinking an open source Finite Element tool and libraries with a model repository for the multi-scale Modelling and 3d visualization of the inner-ear (SIFEM)

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

The clinical evidence indicates that the number of people with all levels of hearing impairment and hearing loss is rising mainly due to a growing global population and longer life expectancies. Hearing loss caused by pathology in the cochlea or the cochlear nerve is classified as sensorineural hearing loss. The study of the normal function and pathology of the inner ear has unique difficulties as ...

Synergistic modeling of gene-brain couplings with applications in affective neuroscience (SYNEURGY)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Exploiting cross-modal integration for enhanced power and sensitivity, the recently emerged field of imaging genomics is at the frontline of available tools for identifying genes which influence the neurobiology of human behavior and psychiatric illness. Computational approaches are not, however, up to par with the complexity of the disparate data: there is an urgent need for integrative predictiv ...
