Development of biophotonic device based on flexible light emitting textile dedicated to the monitoring and treatment for dermatologic diseases and carcinoma (PHOS-ISTOS)

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

The therapeutic effect of the photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on a combination of parameters that include drug dose, drug-light interval, oxygen in cells and light irradiance rate. It also varies according to the wavelength distribution of the light source. Finally, a homogeneous and reproducible illumination during the clinical PDT is determinant in preventing under- or overtreatment. So, the ...

A Systems Biology Approach to controlling Nematode Infections of Livestock (NematodeSystemHealth)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Nematodes are among the most serious threats to livestock. They cause disease and death but they also compromise production. Even a mild infection can cause a relative protein deficiency and reduce weight gain by 25% . In the UK sheep industry alone, nematode infection costs over 100 million Euros a year .The mainstay of current control measures is anthelmintic treatment but this is threatened b ...
