New approach to treatment of the blinding disease Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) (PREVENTROP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"The overall objective is to develop a novel preventative intervention for the blinding disease retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and other complications of prematurity. The PREVENTROP consortium proposes to conduct preclinical studies (pharmacological, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and toxicological) in models and/or clinical studies (including phase III clinical trial) of an EU designated o ...

Composing Learning for Artificial Cognitive Systems (CompLACS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Description One of the aspirations of machine learning is to develop intelligent systems that can address a wide variety of control problems of many different types. Currently, the technology used to specify, solve and analyse one control problem typically cannot be reused on a different problem. The purpose of CompLACS is to develop a unifi ...

Metastatic tumours facilitated by hypoxic tumour micro-environments (METOXIA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"Recent research suggests that the hypoxic micro-environment of tumours is one of the major drivers of metastatic spread of cancer. Furthermore, hypoxic tumour micro-environments may result in treatment resistance of cancer cells, therefore causing a double effect of reducing the potential of a successful treatment of the cancer patient. This project seeks to clarify the roles and functions of the ...

Enhance environmental awareness through social information technologies (EveryAware)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

There is now overwhelming evidence that the current organisation ofour economies and societies is seriously damaging biologicalecosystems and human living conditions in the very short term, withpotentially catastrophic effects in the long term. The enforcement ofnovel policies may be triggered by a grassroot approach, with a keycontribution from information and communication technologies (ICT).Now ...

Advanced Teaching and TRaining for Adoptive Cell Therapy (ATTRACT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Considerable resources are devoted to fighting cancer throughout Europe, yet these efforts are not producing the results that health practitioners and citizens might expect. This is partly due to the fragmentation and duplication of research efforts within Member states and the lack of co-ordination at European level. However it can also be attributed to the need to retain and most importantly dev ...

Stem Cell Expansion - Expansion and engraftment of haematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells (STEMEXPAND)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"Serious disorders of the blood system, particularly malignant blood disorders and genetic diseases can be effectively treated by blood and marrow transplantation. Despite considerable success with this treatment modality during the last decades, lack of suitable donors, engraftment failure and graft versus host disease remain serious problems that need to be addressed. This project aims to addres ...
