A Phase Ib/II study of MEK1/2 inhibitor PD-0325901 or MEK-162 with cMET inhibitor PF-02341066 in RASMT and RASWT (with aberrant c-MET) Colorectal Cancer Patients (MERCURIC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common cancer in Europe, and with approximately 200,000 deaths per year, it remains the 2nd most common cause of cancer death. More than half of all CRC patients develop distant metastases and have 5-year overall survival (OS) of less than 5% because of ineffective treatments. Increased understanding of cancer biology, coupled with the implementation of “omi ...

Sarcopenia and Physical fRailty IN older people: multi-componenT Treatment strategies (SPRINTT)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

The current healthcare systems are built around the traditional paradigm of patients suffering from a single acute illness. They are therefore largely unprepared to face the increasing demands for health services arising from the expansion of an older population with specific medical needs related to multiple chronic disorders. As a consequence, the medical conditions of a large and growing seg ...

Health and Environment-wide Associations based on Large population Surveys (HEALS)

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

Assessing individual exposure to environmental stressors and predicting health outcomes implies that both environmental exposures and epi/genetic variations are reliably measured simultaneously. HEALS (Health and Environment-wide Associations based on Large population Surveys) brings together in an innovative approach a comprehensive array of novel technologies, data analysis and modeling tools th ...

QUANTItative scanning probe microscopy techniques for HEAT transfer management in nanomaterials and nanodevices (QUANTIHEAT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The thermal properties of nanostructured materials are of fundamental importance to modern technology, but at present reproducible metrological definitions, tools and methods do not exist. This is because the mechanisms of heat transport at the nanoscale are entirely different to those at the macro scale.The project will place nanothermal metrology on a solid basis by an integrated physics-based e ...

Cystic Fibrosis Microbiome-determined Antibiotic Therapy Trial in Exacerbations: Results Stratified (CFMATTERS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Antimicrobial resistance is arguably the most significant challenge facing the EU health care system. The unnecessary use of antibiotics is a key driver in the development of antibiotic resistance. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) represents a unique disease model to study bacterial resistance and to explore therapeutic strategies for same, as chronic lung infection overlaps with acute lung exacerbations caus ...

European clinical study for the application of regenerative heart valves (ESPOIR)

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

Acquired and congenital heart disease can necessitate heart valve replacement. However, current heart valve substitutes are not considered ideal as they need anticoagulation, bearing the risk of bleeding when manufactured from non-organic material, or they degenerate when they derive from animals or human tissue donators (homografts) thereby leading to frequent reoperation especially in the young ...

Synthesis of Two-Photon Optimized 'Caged' Compounds for Neuroscienes (LIGHTLAB-TOOLS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"Progress in science requires the development of new or better experimental tools. Photolysis has provided a way to study kinetics of ligand activated signaling in situ at inaccessible intracellular and extracellular receptors for three decades. It can now be combined with laser microscopy to provide high resolution spatio-temporal kinetics of receptors in situ, for photo-stimulation or photo-inhi ...

A comprehensive approach to “attitudes towards contingency” in liberal-individualistic societies : the case of mental health problems hindering autonomy (ATCMentalHeath)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"This project deals with ""attitudes towards contingency"" - ATC - (i.e. ways of making life going on after a crisis, ways of coping with misfortune, injustice, evil, etc. on the symbolic and operative levels) that are specific to liberal- individualistic societies, within which unprecedented emphasis is put on autonomy and the capacity to rely on oneself (in particular : helping oneself, being o ...

"The behavioral, fMRI, and EEG profiles of multifocal attention" (MUFOCA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

"The proposed project will investigate how selective attention is implemented in the architecture of the visual system. Using both behavioral and cognitive neuroscience methods, we will study attentional tracking of multiple objects that move independently in the visual field. Previous research has shown that the capacity to select and monitor multiple objects and their locations varies as a funct ...

Visual crowding: The paradox of position (VisualCrowding)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

Visual crowding is the disruptive effect of “clutter” on our ability to recognise objects, despite their being identifiable in isolation. This effect is particularly strong in our peripheral vision, making crowding the fundamental limit on over 95% of the visual field. Understanding crowding will thus reveal much about how we recognise objects, as well as how to present information to those who re ...
