Aggression subtyping for improved insight and treatment innovation in psychiatric disorders (AGGRESSOTYPE)

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

Aggression is a basic physiological trait with important roles throughout evolution, both in defence and predation. When expressed in humans in the wrong context, aggression leads to maladjustment, social impairment and crime. Despite this, knowledge about aggression aetiology is limited and current treatment strategies are insufficient. Contingent to a subdivision into impulsive and instrumental ...

Counteracting psychosis by optimizing interaction (INTERACT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Psychotic disorders are amongst the most severe mental disorders. However, current treatments have failed to reduce disability or change the prospects for recovery for patients with a psychotic disorder. In this project, I will investigate an entirely novel therapy, targeting the core vulnerability profile of altered person-environment interactions underlying psychosis, specifically increased stre ...

VPH Dementia Research Enabled by IT (VPH-DARE@IT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

The DementiA Research Enabled by IT project responds to the European Parliament's 2011 resolution for a European Initiative on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, and the EU Year of the Brain 2014 Initiative. It delivers the first patient-specific predictive models for early differential diagnosis of dementias and their evolution. Its mechanistic/phenomenological models of the ageing brain ac ...

PROBING THE ROLE OF SODIUM CHANNELS IN PAINFUL NEUROPATHIES (PROPANE STUDY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Neuropathic pain is a frequent feature of peripheral neuropathy adversely impacting patients’ quality of life and increasing health care costs. Not all individuals with neuropathy develop pain and it is not possible to predict who is more or less susceptible among those with similar risk exposure. Inability to identify high-risk individuals and drug-responder patients and lack of drugs acting on t ...

Innovative Midlife Intervention for Dementia deterrence (In-MINDD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The European costs of dementia were estimated €177 billion and there is a growing gap between burden and budget. The debilitation associated with dementia makes it the most feared of conditions related to ageing .Modelling studies have estimated that if obesity rates dropped by 5%, dementia prevalence rates would be lower by 6% and a decline in physical inactivity rate by 5% would reduce dementia ...

European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene-Environment Interactions (EU-GEI)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

The aim of EU-GEI is to identify the interactive genetic, clinical and environmental determinants involved in the development, severity and outcome of schizophrenia (EU-GEI, Schiz. Res. 2008; 102: 21-6). In order to identify these interactive determinants, EU-GEI will employ family-based, multidisciplinary research paradigms, which allow for the efficient assessment of gene-environment interaction ...

Training Urology Scientists to develop Treatments (TRUST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Urinary Incontinence (UI) affects around 10% of the population (more than 70 Million people in the EU) and unfortunately - due to the aging population - is an increasing cause of impaired quality of life. The most common cause of UI is called the Overactive bladder syndrome (OABS) of which the underlying complex bio-molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Many distinct tissues (nervous system ...
