Patient-specific stem cell-derived models for Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders (STEMMAD)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Future treatment of incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and Huntington’s disease (HD), has to be tailored to individual patients or cohorts of patients to obtain an optimal effect. The STEMMAD project is aimed to create a highly innovative international collaboration between 2 R&D intensive SME and ...

Dengue research Framework for Resisting Epidemics in Europe (DENFREE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"WHO estimates that one of the main consequences of global warming will be an increased burden of vector-borne diseases. Among these, dengue appears to be particularly problematic, with tens of millions of cases of dengue fever estimated to occur annually, including up to 500,000 cases of the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. In recent years, the global burden of den ...

Innovative tools and strategies for surveillance and control of dengue (DengueTools)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

Current surveillance systems and control efforts are clearly insufficient to combat dengue in endemic countries and to prevent spread to previously uninfected areas (including Europe). We will focus on the following aspects of the call: better diagnosis, surveillance, prevention as well as prediction and/or prevention of the spread of Dengue fever to previously uninfected regions (including Europe ...

"Genomic approaches to metabolite exploitation from Xenorhabdus, Photorhabdus" (GAMEXP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"The majority of compounds used to treat diseases come from a single group of organisms, the actinomycetes. This over-reliance on a single organism to produce the worlds drugs is a major problem for the development of compounds with alternative modes of action which can overcome and delay the onset of drug resistance. To address this problem we will form an international multi-disciplinary group o ...
