Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials (NANOVALID)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
The growing development, production and use of engineered nanomaterials and associated products will increase exposure of both humans and ecosystems to these new materials. However, current knowledge is still incomplete and established test methods are as yet inappropriate to reliably assess the extent of exposure and risk of materials at the nano-scale. There is an urgent need to develop methods ...

European Study to Establish Biomarkers of Human Ageing (MARK-AGE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The rate of ageing in humans is not uniform, due to genetic heterogeneity and the influence of environmental factors. Age-related changes in body function or composition that could serve as a measure of “biological” age and predict the onset of age-related diseases and/or residual lifetime are termed “biomarkers of ageing”. Many candidate biomarkers have been proposed but in all cases their variab ...

Novel approaches for the development of customized skin treatments and services (Test case: Dead Sea Minerals and Conventional drugs) (Skin Treat)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Economical and health interests of skin problems are fast growing issues in Europe, following the remarkable extension in life expectancy in western countries, together with the increased awareness of UV radiation risks. Personalized health care approach has been discussed over the past few years and had been accompanied by developing innovative technologies capable of identifying specific biomark ...

A road map for European ageing research (WhyWeAge)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
The rapid increase of life expectancy in Europe is essentially a positive outcome from improved health care and socioeconomic progress. However age-related deteriorations of health greatly impinge upon the health care and social security systems. This fosters an increasing necessity of keeping as long as possible the elderly in relatively healthy conditions. Unravelling the fundamental mechanisms ...
