Resistance in Gram-Negative Organisms: Studying Intervention Strategies (R-GNOSIS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
Antibiotics are a mainstay of public health, but their use has increased exponentially leading to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The R-GNOSIS (Resistance in Gram-Negative Organisms: Studying Intervention Strategies) project combines 5 international clinical studies, all supported by highly innovative microbiology, mathematical modelling and data-management, to determine - in the most rele ...

Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization (MINO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"Complex decision making in enterprises should involve mathematical optimization methods, because a “best choice” has to be made out of a huge number of feasible options. A mathematical description of such decision processes typically involves both “continuous” and “discrete” decisions. If the latter are present, the customary modelling approach is to use integer variables, which are also used to ...

Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,
Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...

European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"European policy making is hampered by considerable uncertainty about the magnitude and nature of the impacts of long term exposure to air pollution on human health. ESCAPE is a collaboration of more than 30 European cohort studies including some 900,000 subjects. It is aimed at quantifying health impacts of air pollution and at reducing uncertainty. ESCAPE will also test new hypotheses on specifi ...

European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials (NanoImpactNet)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
Recent technological advances allow the targeted production of objects and materials in the nanoscale (smaller than 100 nm). Nanomaterials have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics, which are different from those of larger entities of the same materials. Nanoparticles can pass through body barriers. This is interesting for medical applications, but it raises concerns about their health ...
