Advancing Smart Optical Imaging and Sensing for Health (ASTONISH)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,

The ageing population and related increase in chronic diseases put considerable pressure on both the healthcare system and the society, resulting in an unsustainable rise of healthcare costs. As a result there is an urgent need to improve efficiency of care and reduce hospitalisation time in order to control cost and increase quality of life. Addressing this need, medical applications need to beco ...

DEVELOPMENT OF TAILORED ANTIMICROBIAL TREATMENT REGIMENS AND NOVEL HOST- PATHOGEN INSIGHTS FOR RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS AND SEPSIS (TAILORED-Treatment)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Though of tremendous benefit, the overuse of antibiotics has lead to the emergence of antibiotic resistance and may cause adverse events that impact on patient healthcare. Current diagnostic tools for facilitating the appropriate use of antibiotics in patients are inadequate.We will establish a broad-based strategy (not limited to a particular antibiotic group) that can be implemented on a broad s ...

Characterization and modelling of dietary effects mediated by gut microbiota on lipid metabolism (ETHERPATHS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"Dysregulation of lipid homeostasis is related to multiple major global healthcare problems today, including aging, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It has already been shown that nutritional modulation of lipid homeostasis via direct supplementation, e.g., n-3 fatty acids, or via indirect mechanisms, e.g., dietary polyphenols, has beneficial effects on human health. There is growing evidence ...
