PROTECTion against Endocrine Disruptors;Detection, mixtures, health effects, risk assessment and communication. (PROTECTED)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

PROTECTED aims to develop expertise and protective capabilities against Endocrine Disruptors (EDs). EDs and their mixtures are a modern day health concern leading to failing ecological systems, poor agricultural production and health effects such as obesity, cancer and infertility. While analytical methods have advanced enormously, focus has been mainly on synthetic chemicals, overlooking emerging ...

Exploiting Protein Complexes that Induce Cell-death (EPIC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The formation of specific protein complexes are key events in life-and-death decisions made by cells. Inappropriate decisions underpin a plethora of disease conditions from degenerative diseases to cancer while the role of the complexes in these processes make them important therapeutic targets. Our ability to develop small molecules to target death-inducing protein complexes has been hampered by ...

COMputational tool for the assessment and substitution of Biocidal Active substanceS of Ecotoxicological concern (LIFE-COMBASE)

Start date: Oct 3, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

Background Biocides not only kill pathogens that are targeted, but can also kill non-pathogens. This can have undesirable side-effects for human health and the environment. Such risks have yet to be sufficiently investigated for most biocides on the EU market because in different environmental compartments (e.g. soil, groundwater and air) active substance ...
