"Health and the Understanding of Metabolism, Aging and Nutrition" (HUMAN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"Recently intense research identified around 4,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human age related diseases such as metabolic disorders. Despite their highly significant association to pathology, the functional role of these genetic variants is, in most cases, yet to be elucidated. The evolutionary distance of most animal models from humans represents a major limitation fo ...

Rational Bioactive Materials Design for Tissue Regeneration (BIODESIGN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The development of functional materials for tissue regeneration is today mostly based on perceived and limited design criteria often using a single point approach with lengthy animal trials. The outcome after in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation is often disappointing resulting in a tedious iteration process. The main objective of this project is to achieve radical innovations in state-of-the-art bioma ...

Collaborative EuropeaN Digital/Archival Infrastructure (CENDARI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

The Collaborative EuropeaN Digital Archive Infrastructure (CENDARI) will provide and facilitate access to existing archives and resources in Europe for the study of medieval and modern European history through the development of an ‘enquiry environment’. This environment will increase access to records of historic importance across the European Research Area, creating a powerful new platform for a ...

Optimization of stem cell therapy for clinical trials of degenerative skin and muscle diseases (OptiStem)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

This proposal aims to develop and implement efficacy of clinical trials with adult, tissue stem cells for degenerative diseases of epithelia and skeletal muscle. Extraordinary progress in the understanding of several key features of stem cells has been rapidly translated into novel cell therapy protocols that have yielded positive results in pre-clinical models of genetic and acquired diseases and ...

Initial Training Network on therapeutic approaches and predictive models for neurodegenerative diseases (NEUROMODEL)

Start date: Oct 15, 2008, End date: Oct 14, 2012,

"Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Huntington’s disease (HD) still lack treatments that are disease modifying. The proposed network is going to address the three most important bottlenecks for finding more effective medicine in brain disorders. Those are: (i) identification and validation of pre-symptomatic and surrogate marker for disease progression, (ii) Develo ...
