Honeybee communication: animal social learning at the height of social complexity (BeeDanceGap)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2021,

Learning from others is fundamental to ecological success across the animal kingdom, but a key theme to emerge from recent research is that individuals respond differently to social information. Understanding this diversity is an imposing challenge, because it is hard to replicate the overwhelming complexity of free-living groups within controlled laboratory conditions. Yet here I propose that one ...

Enhanced European Coordination for Accelerator Research & Development (EUCARD-2)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

Research accelerators are facing important challenges that must be addressed in the years to come: existing infrastructures are stretched to all performance frontiers, new world-class facilities on the ESFRI roadmap are starting or nearing completion, and strategic decisions are needed for future accelerators and major upgrades in Europe.While current projects concentrate on their specific objecti ...

A phase I/IIa clinical trial in Duchenne muscular dystrophy using systemically delivered morpholino antisense oligomer to skip exon 53 (SKIP-NMD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive, lethal muscle degenerative condition arising from the absence of dystrophin in skeletal and cardiac muscles. 65% of DMD boys have out-of-frame deletions. Modulation of pre-mRNA splicing by exon skipping is the most promising molecular intervention in DMD. 2 Phase Ib and 2 Phase IIa clinical trials (MDEX Consortium in collaboration with Sarepta Th ...

Composing Learning for Artificial Cognitive Systems (CompLACS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Description One of the aspirations of machine learning is to develop intelligent systems that can address a wide variety of control problems of many different types. Currently, the technology used to specify, solve and analyse one control problem typically cannot be reused on a different problem. The purpose of CompLACS is to develop a unifi ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

Cephalopod Recruitment from English Channel Spawning Habitats (CRESH)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Sep 29, 2012,

Objectif général :L’objectif du projet CRESH est de permettre une gestion durable des céphalopodes en Manche. En effet, les céphalopodes (calmar et seiche) sont en Manche des ressources partagées, exploitées par les flottilles de France et du Royaume-Uni. Ils représentent une part croissante du revenu des pêcheurs de ces deux pays. Le projet porte sur l’étude des céphalopodes, des différents stade ...

Discovery of novel cancer serum biomarkers based on aberrant post translational modifications of O-glycoproteins (O-PTM-Biomarkers) and their application to early detection of cancer (O-PTM-Biomarkers)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

Early detection accomplished through an efficient screening programme remains the most promising approach to improve the long-term survival of cancer patients. Therefore there is a pressing need for the development of biomarkers, which detect the early changes for cancers where clinical symptoms only appear when the cancer has progressed, and treatment is ineffective. Our proposal, which addresses ...
