Genetic and environmental risk factors for common malignant tumours especially breast cancer and melanoma (risk factors cancer)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

A prerequisite for prevention or early diagnosis of a tumour disease is that environmental and/or genetic risk factors are characterized in order to better define risk groups. The present research proposal focus on common malignant tumours, especially breast cancer and malignant melanoma . By combining risk factor studies on endogenous and exogenous environmental, and genetic risk factors and its ...

The Plant Cell Wall Training Consortium (WallTraC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"Plant cell walls constitute a highly complex and dynamic entity of extreme importance in plant growth and development. Growing cell walls can be considered as ""fibre composites"", where cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix of complex glycans. It is becoming increasingly apparent (i) that cell wall glycans are diverse in structural terms, (ii) that these structures are developmentally ...

Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study (COGS)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

The overarching goal of COGS is to identify individuals with an increased risk of breast, ovary and prostate cancer. Furthermore, we will evaluate the effect of inherited genetic variation on tumour characteristics and clinical outcome. We will do this through quantifying the role of genetic and environmental/lifestyle risk in the largest data set ever generated. In all, we will include over 200,0 ...

Cenozoic evolution of the Indonesian Throughflow and the origins of Indo-Pacific marine biodiversity: Mapping the biotic response to environmental change (THROUGHFLOW)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

A critical agenda for earth and life sciences is to determine how diverse tropical marine ecosystems such as coral reefs will respond to global environmental change. This will require long-term environmental and ecological data that rarely exist for living coral reefs. In contrast, the fossil record provides abundant examples that can be mined to predict future outcomes. The THROUGHFLOW network wi ...

DynaLearn - Engaging and informed tools for learning conceptual system knowledge (DynaLearn)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

Description Despite this importance, there is an alarming decline in the number of students choosing science subjects. Reasons for this include the perceived complexity, the idea that these subjects are uninteresting and tedious, and the lack of effective cognitive tools that enable learners to acquire the expertise in a way that fits its qu ...
