Advanced Regenerative and REStorative Therapies to combat corneal BLINDNESS (ARREST BLINDNESS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Over 30 million Europeans are blind or visually impaired, leading to reduced quality of life and a tremendous loss of productivity in society. Corneal blindness is the second largest cause of blindness globally and while treatable, millions remain unnecessarily blind due to issues of access to transplantable tissue, lack of standardized treatments, and the lag in translating new regenerative medic ...

Targets and biomarkers for antiepileptogenesis (EPITARGET)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

Epilepsy is a devastating condition affecting over 50 million people worldwide. This multidisciplinary project is focused on the process leading to epilepsy, epileptogenesis, in adults. Our main hypothesis is that there are combinations of various causes, acting in parallel and/or in succession, that lead to epileptogenesis and development of seizures. Our central premise and vision is that a comb ...

Preclinical development of drugs and drug delivery technology for the treatment of inherited photoreceptor degeneration (DRUGSFORD)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Dysregulation of cGMP is a pathological hallmark of inherited retinal degenerations (RD) affecting photoreceptors, the sensory cells of the retina. These RDs, including Retinitis Pigmentosa, Lebers Congenital Amaurosis, and Achromatopsia, are major causes of blindness, affecting approximately one in every 2000 individuals worldwide, and remain without effective treatment. In photoreceptors, cGMP i ...

NEURAL TRANSPLANTATION IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE (TRANSEURO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

There are currently no cures for Parkinson's disease (PD) but one of the most effective reparative therapies in patients to date has been with allotransplants of dopamine (DA) neuroblasts obtained from fetal ventral mesencephalic (VM) tissue. However, this cell transplantation approach has given inconsistent results, with some patients doing extremely well and coming off anti-PD medication for yea ...

The lab-free CBRN detection device for the identification of biological pathogens on nucleic acid and immunological level as lab-on-a-chip system applying multisensor technologies (MULTISENSE CHIP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The goal of MultiSENSE is the development of a detection and identification system for biological pathogens, which shall include both the sample preparation stage, during which target molecules are extracted directly and in parallel the ensuing nucleic-acid-based and/or immunological detection and identification steps, in order to build an integrated “sample in, result out” system. Disruptive tech ...

Sharing capacity across Europe in high-throughput sequencing technology to explore genetic variation in health and disease (GEUVADIS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"High-throughput next-generation DNA sequencing technologies allow investigators to sequence entire human genomes at an affordable price and within a short time frame. The correct interpretation, storage, and dissemination of the large amount of produced genomics data generate major challenges. Tackling these challenges requires extensive exchange of data, information and knowledge between medical ...
