Systems Biology of T-cell Activation in Health and Disease (SYBILLA)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
T-cell activation, whether induced by pathogens or auto-antigens, is a complex process relying on multiple layers of tightly controlled intracellular signalling modules that form an intricate network. Defects in this network can cause severe and chronic disorders such as autoimmune diseases. Although 5% of the population suffer from these diseases, only a few therapeutic treatments are available. ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

Standardisation and improvement of generic pre-analytical tools and procedures for in vitro diagnostics (SPIDIA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
"In vitro diagnostics have allowed a great deal of progress in medicine but are limited by two factors: (a) the lack of guidelines in collection, handling, stabilisation and storage of biosamples which limits the reproducibility of subsequent diagnoses, and (b) its scale is restrained to the cellular level. To address this first point, this IP, SPIDIA, built of clinicians, academics, tool and assa ...
