Microbiome Influence on Energy balance and Brain Development-Function Put into Action to Tackle Diet-related Diseases and Behavior (MyNewGut)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiome contributes to our ability to extract energy from the diet and influences development and function of the immune, endocrine and nervous systems, which regulate energy balance and behaviour. This has led to hypothesize that developing microbiome-based dietary interventions can be cost-effective measures to prevent diet-related and behavioural diso ...

Prediction of Geospace Radiation Environment and solar wind parameters (PROGRESS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The smooth functioning of the European economy and the welfare of its citizens depends upon an ever-growing set of services and facilities that are reliant on space and ground based infrastructure. Examples include communications (radio, TV, mobile phones), navigation of aircraft and private transport via GPS, and service industries (e.g. banking). These services, however, can be adversely affec ...

European Consortium for High-Throughput Research in Rare Kidney Diseases (EURENOMICS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

EURenOmics will integrate several established consortia devoted to rare kidney diseases with eminent need and potential for diagnostic and therapeutic progress (i.e. steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathy, tubulopathies, complement disorders such a haemolytic uraemic syndrome, and congenital kidney malformations). The Consortium has access to the largest clinical cohorts asse ...

Effective Communication in Outbreak Management: development of an evidence-based tool for Europe (E-COM@EU)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Although scientific knowledge to respond to outbreaks has increased, deficiencies remain in the ability of health authorities to communicate the need for large-scale measures such as vaccination and antiviral therapy and increase its acceptance. For effective behavioural and communication strategies, integration is needed of social, behavioural, communication and media sciences.We bring together t ...

Direct biological conversion of solar energy to volatile hydrocarbon fuels by engineered cyanobacteria (DIRECTFUEL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"The objective of the DirectFuel project is to develop photosynthetic microorganisms that catalyze direct conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide to engine-ready fuels. A key process target of the proposal is 'direct' in the sense that fuel production should not require destructive extraction and further chemical conversion to generate directly useable transport fuels. To further increase ou ...

International Data Exchange and Data Representation Standards for Proteomics (ProteomeXchange)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Over the last few years the field of proteomics has evolved into a prolific data producer. As a result, various databases that collect and redistribute the acquired data have been established. While data format standards for quantitative proteomics have now been defined and implemented with significant contribution from the recently completed EU ProDaC grant, standards for quantitative proteomics ...

Minimizing Activity and Dose with Enhanced Image quality by Radiopharmaceutical Administrations (MADEIRA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

MADEIRA aims to improve 3D nuclear medical imaging technologies significantly. Achievements will be made in terms of reduction of radiation exposure, increase of spatial and temporal resolution. In consequence, the applied techniques will offer better and more detailed pictures for diagnosis obtained with less exposure to radioactivity. Due to the introduction of new diagnostic procedures such as ...
