Fast Assay for Pathogen Identification and Characterisation (FAPIC)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2020,

The emergence of highly diverse resistance mechanisms among pathogens requires their detailed analysis to guarantee an efficient medical treatment. The gold standard in clinical diagnostics is based on the cultivation of bacteria and their phenotypical characterisation. However, these methods are labour-intensive and time-consuming lasting in some cases up to a few weeks. Thus, faster diagnostic t ...

BIOengineered grafts for Cartilage Healing In Patients (BIO-CHIP) (BIO-CHIP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

Spontaneous healing of articular cartilage injuries is poor and untreated defects predispose to osteoarthritis. Current therapies, including innovative autologous cell-based treatments, cannot predictably and reproducibly restore cartilage structure and function. BIOCHIP will carry out a multicenter, prospective phase II clinical trial to treat knee cartilage injuries using engineered grafts based ...

Coordination Action in support of the sustainability and globalisation of the Joint Programming Initiative on Neurodegenerative Diseases (JPsustaiND)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

The overall aim of JPsustaiND is to support the development and extension of the capacities of the EU Joint Programming Initiative on Neurodegenerative Diseases, in particular Alzheimer's (JPND). Since 2009 JPND has been operating on a very light management structure based on a simple Terms of Reference. Through this JPND has been able to set a common Strategic Research Agenda, and to deliver its ...

ERC = ScienceSquared (ScienceSquared)

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

The ERC is a great success scientifically, and now wants to broaden its popular and political support. But it has a problem: Most EU citizens don’t care about some Brussels agency they never heard of. The solution is in the ERC’s mandate: frontier research. It has science – the cutting edge variety, that can capture the imagination, change the world and stimulate curiosity. We have seen the power ...

Improving quality and safety in the hospital: The link between organisational culture, burnout, and quality of care (ORCAB)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

To date, relatively little evidence has been published as to what represents an effective and efficient way to improve quality of care and safety in hospitals. This vacuum in the research means there is a significant opportunity to design quality of care and safety interventions in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders, which address the relevant organisational and individual factors in a h ...

The appropriateness of prescribing antibiotics in primary health care in Europe with respect to antibiotic resistance (APRES)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"The APRES project aims at providing information and recommendations on the appropriateness of prescribing antibiotics in primary care. The appropriateness of prescribing antibiotics is the extent to which the pattern of prescribed antibiotics is congruent with the antibiotic resistance pattern of bacteria. More than 90% of antibiotics in Europe is prescribed to non-hospitalized patients, but exis ...

Magnetic Scaffolds for in vivo Tissue Engineering (MAGISTER)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The main driving idea of the project is the creation of conceptually new type of scaffolds able to be manipulated in situ by means of magnetic forces. This approach is expected to generate scaffolds with such characteristics as multiple use and possibly multipurpose delivery in order to repair large bone defects and ostheocondral lesions in the articular surface of the skeletal system. The major ...
