PARAGONE: vaccines for animal parasites (Paragone)

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

Helminth and ectoparasitic infections of ruminants and poultry have a huge impact on the biological efficiency of these vital food sources. Indiscriminate antiparasitic use has led to drug resistance across the globe. The main alternative to the dwindling supply of antiparasitics is vaccines. Here, in the PARAGONE project, findings from previous EU and other-funded projects on parasite vaccine dev ...

Empowering climate resilience

Start date: Oct 15, 2016, End date: Oct 14, 2018,

By focusing on urban resilience, CARE addresses one of the most urgent topics in EU and Latin America (LA). Most LA countries are dealing with climate risk management issues, but they lack a holistic and common approach to resilience. International cooperation seems then the best-fit environment where to develop joint learning tools, go in depth on peculiar research and deliver support to policy m ...

Genetic study of Common Hereditary Bowel Cancers in Hispania and the Americas (CHIBCHA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in both sexes, has relatively poor outcome and has no major avoidable risk factor. Recent studies have shown that common inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can increase cancer risk. We have shown CRC risk to be associated with SNPs on chromosomes 8q24.21, 15q14 and 8q21. These variants account for

Historical Patterns of Development and Underdevelopment: Origins and Persistence of the Great Divergence (HI-POD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"Understanding the ‘great’ and ‘little’ divergences between Northwest Europe and the rest of Europe, and between Europe and the rest of the world, implies considerable challenges, both in terms of quantification and analysis. In terms of quantification, the major European challenges are to be found in the pre-1800 period, although much work remains to be done in quantifying post-1800 performance e ...
