Molecular Mechanisms of Fungal Pathogen Host Interactions (ImResFun)

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

ImResFun shall provide state-of-the-art training in infectious disease research and medical immunology targeting the most common human fungal pathogens, the opportunistic Candida species. The key objectives of ImResFun are: (i) to understand how immune cells and infected organs respond to invasion by Candida spp, (ii) to decipher host-defense mechanisms mediating pathogen elimination, and (iii) to ...

European Initial Training Network on Developmental and Computational Biology (DevCom)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

The ability to manipulate cellular pluripotency and differentiation holds the as yet unrealized promise of regenerative medicine to produce replacement cells and tissues. To this end a deep understanding of the regulation of differentiation potential in the context of normal embryonic development is crucial. The recent revolution in sequencing technology has enabled high throughput and genome-wide ...

Imaging of Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases (INMiND)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The goal of this proposal (INMiND) is to carry out collaborative research on molecular mechanisms that link neuroinflammation with neurodegeneration in order to identify novel biological targets for activated microglia, which may serve for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and to translate this knowledge into the clinic. The general objectives of INMiND are:(i) to identify novel mechanisms ...

"Innotive Training Environment for Researchers Combining the Resources of Statistical Science, Informatics & Genetics" (INTERCROSSING)

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

"The principal strategic objective of INTERCROSSING is the cultivation of a new type of young researcher to deal with challenges of exploiting the latest Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies – individuals with rigorous training in three disciplines hardly ever found together any one young scientist: population genetics, informatics and statistics. The need for this supra-disciplinary com ...

Automated Next Generation Sequencing for Diagnostic Microbiology (PATHSEEK)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"Sequencing platforms in diagnostic laboratories may aid both patient management by detecting resistance associated mutations, and public health measures, by determining phylogenetic relationships between infections from different patients. Current platforms are limited by the timeframe required for generating a result and by the limited sequence information provided on pathogens. To overcome thes ...

User-driven Development of Statistical Methods for Experimental Planning, Data Gathering, and Integrative Analysis of Next Generation Sequencing, Proteomics and Metabolomics data (STATegra)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Users of NGS technologies, producing large and numerous distinct types of omics data, demands statistical methods to combat data and knowledge fragmentation and inappropriate procedures for data analysis. Yet, the current a gap between the available tools for analysis of a single omics data-type versus the requirement of biomedical scientists to understand the integrated results derived from sever ...

The Development and Validation of Microbial Soil Community Analyses for Forensics Purposes (MISAFE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2015,

Crime-fighting is a significant concern of the European Union. The EU is committed to fighting all forms of serious, organised and transnational crime. This commitment has led to the decision in 1999 to create a network of national authorities responsible for crime prevention, and later to the establishment (in 2001) of the European Crime Prevention Network and specifically, in the support of fore ...

Comparative Genomics and Next Generation Sequencing (COGANGS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"The activity of genes is absolutely essential for all life – from viruses and bacteria to crops and human beings. Despite the many technological breakthroughs within life science research during the last 20-30 years, we are however still far away from fully understanding the activity of genes and which factor influence (regulates) the gene activity. Such knowledge is, by nature, of very high impo ...
