Professional training and career development in biomedicine (BIOTRACK)

Start date: Jun 15, 2009, End date: Jun 14, 2015,

IDIBAPS is a public research centre that includes a hospital, an university, and a research institute. IDIBAPS aims to increase its scientific production and quality by strengthening its existing research programs through the proposed BIOTRACK Project. It is a good opportunity to enlarge existing schemes and offer better conditions for the fellows to make IDIBAPS more attractive for the most promi ...

Impact of Specific Antibiotic Therapies on the prevalence of hUman host ResistaNt bacteria (SATURN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Many results drawn from previous studies of the effect of antibiotic use on emergence, selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have lacked a holistic view combining all aspects into one study. The SATURN project aims to study the impact of antibiotic exposure on AMR with a multidisciplinary approach that bridges molecular, epidemiological, clinical and pharmacological research. Two ...

Dynamic of neuronal network interactions in the basal ganglia (BasalGangliaDynamic)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 29, 2012,

The goal of this project is to investigate the dynamic of network interactions in the basal ganglia, a network of subcortical nuclei whose dysfunction in human is associated with Parkinson disease, obsessive-compulsive disorders and addiction. So far, based essentially on anatomical data, the type of computation performed by the basal ganglia has been understood according to two opposite models: ( ...

Basal ganglia and the control of locomotion (BasalGangliaNetworks)

Start date: Dec 13, 2010, End date: Dec 12, 2012,

The goal of this project is to understand of the mechanisms, at the neuronal network level, by which the basal ganglia control locomotor activity. The rational beyond this objective is twofold. First, altered locomotor activity is a hallmark of motor and psychiatric disorders. Second, the basal ganglia, a group of subcortical nuclei that connects the entire neocortex to locomotor brain centers, ar ...

United Europeans for the Development of Pharmacogenomics in Multiple Sclerosis (UEPHA-MS)

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

"Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory, disabling disease of the central nervous system. Recent studies suggest that over the last 50 years a disproportional increase in incidence of MS in women has taken place. The lifetime costs of MS exceed 1.5 million € per case in the UK, and are likely to be similar in other European countries. There is no definitive cure for MS. Immunomodulatory ...

Translational Research on Combating Antimicrobial Resistance (TROCAR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The health care systems of most European countries are based on a continuum from acute care hospitals, though other health care facilities to the community. Such a framework provides the perfect opportunity for the wide-spread dissemination of high-risk resistant clones or genetic resistant elements. The driving concept of TROCAR is to investigate the fundamentals of the epidemiology of new high ...

"Novel approaches based on bionanoscience to manipulate, study, visualize and dissociate the nucleocapsid complex of HIV" (NUCARCHIV)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

"The general framework of the project NUCARCHIV is to use the recent development of nano-biotechnology to manipulate and image sophisticated in vitro reconstituted protein-nucleic acids complexes. Our goal is to bring several important advances in our understanding of the inner nucleoprotein structure (the nucleocapsid) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the causative agent of AIDS. The nu ...

The role of adipose tissue in obesity: beta cell crosstalk (ADIBET)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008,

Obesity is an emerging threat to European health and more effective and sustainable therapies are urgently needed to tackle it. Adipose tissue is acknowledged to be a key player in lipid metabolism and plays multiple roles in regulating whole-body physiology, through the secretion of hormones called adipokines. However adipokine secretion and its mediated crosstalk with other tissues are not well ...
