Advanced Studies towards Knowledge on Lyssavirus Encephalitis Pathogenesis Improving Options for Survival (ASKLEPIOS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The overall aim of ASKLEPIOS is to unravel and increase our understanding of the mechanisms that govern pathogenesis of rabies virus (RABV) infection, in pursuit of the rational identification of novel therapeutic leads for rabies encephalitis. Several studies have been conducted over the past decades attempting to unravel the pathogenesis of this deadly disease, however with limited success. New ...

Early detection of emerging viruses by next generation in situ hybridization (Wild Scope)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Europe is a recognized hotspot for emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). A total of 72% of zoonotic EID events have a wildlife origin. Those countries that conduct disease surveillance of their wild animal populations are therefore more likely to detect potential EID events at an early stage and to swiftly implement countermeasures. Detecting viruses in wildlife samples is currently done using sero ...

Profiling the toxicity of new drugs: a non animal-based approach integrating toxicodynamics and biokinetics (Predict-IV)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The overall aim of Predict-IV is to develop strategies to improve the assessment of drug safety in the early stage of development and late discovery phase, by an intelligent combination of non animal-based test systems, cell biology, mechanistic toxicology and in-silico modelling, in a rapid and cost effective manner. A better prediction of the safety of an investigational compound in early develo ...

Hybrid PET-MR system for concurrent ultra-sensitive imaging (HYPERImage)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The HYPERImage project will develop a novel hybrid system for simultaneous whole-body PET/MR imaging for humans. It will advance the required Time-of-Flight (ToF) PET technology, and the software for MR mediated compensation of motion artefacts. The hybrid system will be validated in pre-clinical and initial clinical studies, for exemplary applications in cardiovascular diseases, and in breast can ...
