European Virus Archive goes global (EVAg)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,
The overall objective will be to create and mobilise an International network of high calibre centres around a strong European group of institutes selected for their appropriate expertises, to collect, amplify, characterise, standardise, authenticate, distribute and track, mammalian and other exotic viruses. The network of EVAg laboratories including 25 institutions represents an extensive range o ...

Anti-tick Vaccines to Prevent Tick-borne Diseases in Europe (ANTIDotE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
Background Ixodes ricinus transmits bacterial, protozoal and viral pathogens that cause Lyme borreliosis, babesiosis and tick-borne encephalitis respectively and exceedingly affect Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). During feeding, ticks introduce salivary proteins in the skin that interfere with host defense mechanisms. However, in animals repeated tick infestations as well as vaccination against ...

Biomedical engineering for cancer and brain disease diagnosis and therapy development (ENGCABRA)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
In the understanding of the initiation and development of several diseases revolutionary changes are currently taking place. Cancer and brain diseases are examples of medical fields where new technologies are finding their way into research and applications, radically altering the way the diseases are being diagnosed and treated. Especially methods that yield information on molecular and cellular ...

New drugs targeting influenza virus polymerase (FLU-PHARM)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
The 2009 H1N1 pandemic and the ongoing threat of highly pathogenic H5N1 strains have focused attention worldwide on the urgent need for effective anti-influenza drug options when the public is not protected by vaccination. The need is pressing since several circulating strains are resistant to currently stock-piled anti-neuraminidase drugs. In this project, we will exploit our recent advances in t ...

European Virus Archive (EVA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"During the past 70 years or more, thousands of viruses have been isolated and partly characterised by experts working in different countries worldwide. These viruses potentially provide a unique and extremely valuable medical and educational resource for research and development to understand the basis of virus diseases, and to develop modern state of the art strategies for disease control. Howev ...

Metastatic tumours facilitated by hypoxic tumour micro-environments (METOXIA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
"Recent research suggests that the hypoxic micro-environment of tumours is one of the major drivers of metastatic spread of cancer. Furthermore, hypoxic tumour micro-environments may result in treatment resistance of cancer cells, therefore causing a double effect of reducing the potential of a successful treatment of the cancer patient. This project seeks to clarify the roles and functions of the ...

Sharka Containment (SharCo)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
SharCo is aimed at helping the EU face the accession of Member States known as endemic of sharka disease by providing the EU with tools such as marker-assisted selection, PPV resistant plant materials, guidelines, warning systems, decision-support system. On that purpose, the project will, in the field of epidemiology, identify driving factors of PPV spread and diversification and develop novel an ...
