The genetic basis of meningococcal and other life threatening bacterial infections of childhood (EUCLIDS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2017,
Bacterial infection is the major cause of disability and death in children worldwide. We will use meningococcal disease (MD) as a model to understand genetic factors underlying susceptibility and severity of childhood bacterial infection which will then be applied to other childhood infections. We have established cohorts of patients with MD in Central and Southern Europe (CE,SE), UK and Africa as ...

European Clinical trials in Rare Sarcomas within an integrated translational trial network (EUROSARC)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
Sarcomas are rare malignant tumors, with an overall incidence of 6/105/year. Bone and soft tissue connective tissue tumours encompass more than 50 different rare histotypes and more than 150 different molecular subtypes. The incidence of individual rare sarcomas subtypes is often less than 0.5/105/year. Given sarcoma rarity as a group, but even more as individual entities, few prospective clinical ...

Automated Next Generation Sequencing for Diagnostic Microbiology (PATHSEEK)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
"Sequencing platforms in diagnostic laboratories may aid both patient management by detecting resistance associated mutations, and public health measures, by determining phylogenetic relationships between infections from different patients. Current platforms are limited by the timeframe required for generating a result and by the limited sequence information provided on pathogens. To overcome thes ...

European Consortium for Systematic Stem Cell Biology (EUROSYSTEM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
EuroSyStem brings together elite European research teams to create a unique and world-leading programme in fundamental stem cell biology. By interconnecting complementary biological and computational expertise we will drive the generation of new knowledge on the characteristics of normal and abnormal stem cells. We will pave the way for application of systems methodology by measuring and modelling ...
