OncoTrack - Methods for systematic next generation oncology biomarker development (ONCOTRACK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

We propose here an exhaustive analysis of the genome, exome, methylome and transcriptome of primary tumours and metastases from patients with colon carcinoma, based on a combination of deep sequencing and chip based techniques. Dependent on their availability, we shall also perform analyses of tumor stem cells, circulating tumor cells, free tumor DNA in serum and xenografts derived from the same p ...

Characterization and modelling of dietary effects mediated by gut microbiota on lipid metabolism (ETHERPATHS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"Dysregulation of lipid homeostasis is related to multiple major global healthcare problems today, including aging, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It has already been shown that nutritional modulation of lipid homeostasis via direct supplementation, e.g., n-3 fatty acids, or via indirect mechanisms, e.g., dietary polyphenols, has beneficial effects on human health. There is growing evidence ...

Lipid droplets as dynamic organelles of fat deposition and release: Translational research towards human disease (LipidomicNet)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

Lipids are central to the regulation and control of cellular processes by acting as basic building units for biomembranes, the platforms for the vast majority of cellular functions. Recent developments in lipid mass spectrometry have set the scene for a completely new way to understand the composition of membranes, cells and tissues in space and time by allowing the precise identification and quan ...

Virtual multidisciplinary EnviroNments USing Cloud infrastructures (VENUS-C)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,

Several research communities in Europe exploit e-Infrastructures, sharing data and computing resources with Grid and Supercomputing technology. However the inherent complexity of these technologies has limited their wider adoption and their long term sustainability: designing, developing and operating a computing infrastructure for an e-Science community remains challenging and costly.VENUS-C will ...

Systematic functional analysis of intracellular parasitism as a model of genomes conflict (SYSCO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2007, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

The research program is a multidisciplinary functional genomics approach to study fundamental biological processes relevant to human health and to develop bioinformatics tools in systems biology. It will decipher the complex regulatory networks that control basic cellular processes in the context of intracellular pathogen infection as a paradigm of host/pathogen genomes conflict.This project will ...
