Dobutamine for NEOnatal CIRCulatory failure defined by novel biomarkers (NEO-CIRC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Dobutamine and adrenaline are widely used as second line therapy for systemic hypotension in infants. Dopamine is currently the most widely used first line drug. In neonates, sustained hypotension may, and impaired organ perfusion will, cause brain injury and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. All three catecholamines are currently used off-label and have different modes of action which may result ...

The CD300 family of receptors in HIV infection (CD300sHIV)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

This project's main objective is to study the role of the CD300 receptor family in the pathogenesis of the infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and viral escape mechanisms. We will use peripheral blood samples from patients chronically infected with HIV as well as from healthy donors. The samples will be collected in hospitals of the Basque Country, Spain. The experimental part will be ...

Accelerating Neuromuscular Treatment Selection (ANTeS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) affect an estimated 300.000 people in Europe and no therapies are available for these highly incapacitating and lethal disorders. In the last few years, this status quo has shifted dramatically with the appearance of new RNA therapies targeting several of these disorders. Several clinical trials are currently underway but future development is being slowed due to sev ...

Global Research in Paediatrics (GRiP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Paediatric drugs (PD) lack appropriate testing. Most drugs have inadequate information about dosing regimen, dose adjustment and how to administer them. These are longstanding problems that unquestionably require concerted efforts at the international level. Both the US and the EU have introduced paediatric legislation that facilitates participation of children in research and pharmaceutical innov ...

A New GEnetic LABoratory for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (ANGELab)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

This project will develop a family of In-Vitro Diagnostic Systems that will transfer for the first time novel Non Invasive Prenatal Diagnostic (NIPD) methods in tube to a LabonaChip format. This family will consist of three research systems chosen to cover all prenatal diagnosis models:- ANGELAB1. This system will use a LabonaChip to extract fetal DNA from the mother´s plasma based on differences ...

Laboratory Skin Patches and SmartCards based on foils and compatible with a smartphone (LabOnFoil)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Conventional analytical methods often require a large sample volume and complicated time-consuming protocols. The objective of this project is to develop ultra low cost laboratories on chips (LOC) without penalisation in time response, sensitivity or simplicity of use. The user will obtain the test results using a very popular interface (a smartphone) and a set of Labcards and Skin Patches where t ...

Europe against Cancer: Optimisation of the Use of Registries for Scientific Excellence in research (EUROCOURSE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"EUROCOURSE will tackle fragmentation in the funding and usage of cancer registries in Europe. It will do so by exploring ways to link and integrate national/regional programmes aimed at supporting cancer registries and research carried out using registry data. At the same time EUROCOURSE is seeking to optimize the use of cancer registration data for the amelioration of cancer control and the stre ...

Portable automated test for fast detection and surveillance of influenza (PORTFASTFLU)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

"The PORTFASTFLU’s objective is to develop and validate a rapid diagnostic test for influenza that will be used as point-of-care systems in developed and developing countries. Experts and international bodies agree that the rapid detection of influenza is vital in combating this major threat to human health. Nucleic acid analysis is the most appropriate assay scheme for both early detection and la ...
