Coordination of projects on new approaches to replace current repeated dose systemic toxicity testing of cosmetics and chemicals (COACH)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"SEURAT is a European research initiative with the long-term goal of achieving “Safety Evaluation Ultimately Replacing Animal Testing”.In the first phase of the SEURAT initiative, the European Commission’s FP7 HEALTH programme and the European Cosmetics Association (COLIPA) support a cluster of six research projects representing the building blocks of a common strategy towards the development of s ...

bioMARkers and molecular tumor classification for non-genotoxic CARcinogenesis (MARCAR)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
MARCAR aims to establish reliable early markers and molecular classification of tumors in non genotoxic carcinogenesis, applying a mechanism-based approach. Benefits are improved drug safety, more efficient drug development, and progress with 3 R issues. MARCAR focuses on rodent liver, the major target organ of non-genotoxic carcinogens (NGC). However, this approach will facilitate predictions for ...

Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society (ACCESS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
The Arctic is engaged in a deep climatic evolution. This evolution is quite predictable at short (year) and longer scales (several decades), but it is the decadal intermediate scale that is the most difficult to predict. This is because the natural variability of the system is large and dominant at this scale, and the system is highly non linear due to positive and negative feedback between sea ic ...

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE IN VITRO/IN SILICO SCREENING SYSTEM TO PREDICT HUMAN- AND ECOTOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS (CHEMSCREEN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
The current system of risk assessment of chemicals is complex, very resource-intensive and extremely time-consuming. Because of this, there is a great need to modernize this process. However, this is not feasible without alternative, integrated testing strategies in which chemical characteristics are used to more advantage and where costly and time consuming animal tests are replaced to a large ex ...

"Mathematical modelling of beta-catenin and ras signalling in liver and its impact on proliferation, tissue organization and formation of hepatocellular carcinomas" (CANCERSYS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
"The goal of the CANCERSYS project is to establish a multi-scale model for two major signalling pathways involved in the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma, the beta-catenin and ras signalling pathways. Integrative studies linking measurements in primary heptocytes with effects at the organ level will address the impact of these signalling networks on proliferation, tissue organization and form ...
