Treatment of late onset bacterial sepsis caused by vancomycin susceptible bacteria in neonates and infants aged under three months (NEOVANC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

...nd Staphylococcus aureus. These organisms also create biofilms which are extremely resistant to antibiotics. The increased incidence of LOS due to bacteria such as CoNS and MRSA in NICUs has led to a marked increased use of vancomycin, which is now the third commonest antibiotic used in European NICUs. However, a standardised dosing regimen for premature infants has not yet been defined and there ...

Augmenting PBGD expression in the liver as a Novel Gene therapy for Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIPGENE)

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

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare genetic disease in which mutations in the porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) gene produce insufficient activity of a protein necessary for heme synthesis. This leads to an accumulation of toxic intermediates resulting in a wide variety of problems including acute, severe abdominal pains, psychiatric and neurological disorders, and muscular weakness. Acute ...

Carbohydrate Multivalent Systems as tools to study Pathogen interaction with DC-SIGN (CARMUSYS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The importance of glycosciences in the development of biology and medicine and the central role played by chemistry in this process have recently been pointed out by ESF. However, it appears that exposure of young scientists in their training phase to the chemical biology of carbohydrates is still lacking. This multidisciplinary project intends to approach the design and synthesis of carbohydrate ...
