ANTIcipating the Global Onset of Novel Epidemics (ANTIGONE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
In recent years, an increased number of zoonotic viruses and bacteria have crossed the species barrier to humans and caused or threatened to cause human pandemics with high morbidity and mortality. Because of our inability to predict the emergence of these pathogens, it is difficult to take preventive measures. It is known that zoonotic pathogens need to cross barriers at the animal-human interfac ...

Prevention of Liver Fibrosis and Cancer in Africa (PROLIFICA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
"Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects 350 million people worldwide and 25-30% of these individuals will die as a result of their infection mainly as a results of hepatocellular carcinoma HCC. Liver cirrhosis, high viral load and dietary exposure to aflatoxin are recognised as risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma amongst HBV carriers. However, these variables do not account for al ...

European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents (ERINHA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
In the context of the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases involving highly pathogenic microorganisms, European countries have to be well-prepared to face such threats. However, the Biosafety Level 4 (BSL4) capacity in Europe is not sufficient enough to cover the efficient development of diagnosis, prophylactic and therapeutics means against these pathogens. Moreover, there is no global co ...

Experimental Functional Android Assistant (EFAA) (EFAA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Description
As the introduction of robots into our daily life becomes a reality, the social compatibility of such robots gains importance. In order to meaningfully interact with humans, robots must develop an advanced real-world social intelligence that includes novel perceptual, behavioural, emotional, motivational and cognitive capabilitie ...

Osteoporotic Virtual Physiological Human (VPHOP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Nearly four million osteoporotic bone fractures cost the European health system more than 30 billion Euro per year. This figure could double by 2050. After the first fracture, the chances of having another one increase by 86%. We need to prevent osteoporotic fractures. The first step is an accurate prediction of the patient-specific risk of fracture that considers not only the skeletal determin ...

Self-organized recurrent neural learning for language processing (ORGANIC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The human brain is an unrivalled "engine" for speech processing and language understanding. It integrates a large variety of learning, adaptation, optimization and self-stabilization mechanisms across manydynamically interacting levels of processing. The result of this highly entwined mesh of processes is supreme robustness, efficiency, and versatility. ORGANIC adopts principles of cortical archit ...
