VitaminD3-Omega3-Home Exercise- HeALTHy Ageing and Longevity Trial (DO-HEALTH)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,
As the European population is ageing rapidly, the growing number of seniors with age-related chronic diseases poses a challenge on European societies and health care systems. Therapeutic interventions that are effective, affordable and well-tolerated in the prevention of chronic disease are urgently needed and will have an outstanding impact on public health as a whole. Among the most promising in ...

DARPin Targeted Magnetic Hyperthermic Therapy for Glioblastoma (DARTRIX)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
"DARTRIX, ‘DARPin Targeted RX (therapy)’ is a multidisciplinary collaborative project that will develop high-affinity protein scaffolds to create a new generation of targeted therapeutics for the treatment of glioblastoma. There is great need; glioblastoma is virtually incurable and most patients die within 12 months of diagnosis. DARPins are small, non-immunoglobulin human protein scaffolds that ...

Cutaneous and Mucosal HIV Vaccination (CUT'HIVAC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Despite significant effort over the past decade to design and implement new vaccines strategies against HIV, no one has met its promise to prevent infection and/or to reduce viral load until reaching eradication of the HIV reservoir. To reach this goal, a translational research is critical to propose innovative approaches for an HIV vaccine enhancing broadly cross-reactive mucosal, humoral and cel ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

Standardisation and improvement of generic pre-analytical tools and procedures for in vitro diagnostics (SPIDIA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
"In vitro diagnostics have allowed a great deal of progress in medicine but are limited by two factors: (a) the lack of guidelines in collection, handling, stabilisation and storage of biosamples which limits the reproducibility of subsequent diagnoses, and (b) its scale is restrained to the cellular level. To address this first point, this IP, SPIDIA, built of clinicians, academics, tool and assa ...

Identifying and validating pre-clinical biomarkers for diagnostics and therapeutics of Neuromuscular Disorders (BIO-NMD)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"The rapidly expanding knowledge of NMDs genetic diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapeutic possibilities has provided new targets for disease characterisation, early diagnosis, drug discovery and development as well as has raised many questions about how to translate this knowledge into clinical practice as (initial) clinical trials typically run for such a short time that clinical improvement can h ...
