Diagnostic Imaging Strategies for Patients with Stable Chest Pain and Intermediate Risk of Coronary Artery Disease: Comparative Effectiveness Research of Existing Technologies (DISCHARGE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in high-income countries. Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the reference standard for the diagnosis of CAD and allows immediate therapy. However, only 40% of patients undergoing ICA actually have obstructive CAD and ICA has relatively rare but considerable risks. Coronary computed tomography (CT) is the most accurate diagnostic test ...

Multimodal Imaging of rare Synucleinopathies (MultISyn)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Despite remarkable progress in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDD), no causative or disease-modifying treatment is currently available. Aggregation of misfolded proteins are thought to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis, but attempts to exploit this knowledge for novel treatments have not been successful. Also, pathogenetically relevant biomarke ...

Reach α-synuclein-dependent neurodegeneration: clinical development of therapeutic AFFITOPE vaccines for Parkinson’s disease and multisystem atrophy (SYMPATH)

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

The goal of SYMPATH is to advance clinical development of therapeutic vaccines targeting α-synuclein (aSyn)-driven neurodegenerative diseases (ND). It addresses Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), two synucleopathies, for which no causal therapy exists. Ultimately, both lead to patient disability and death, which along with patient number (PD) and age of onset (MSA, PD) def ...

Non-coding RNAs in neurogenic and neuropathic pain mechanisms and their application for risk assessment, patient stratification and personalised pain medicine (NCRNAPAIN)

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

Neuro-immune alterations in the peripheral and central nervous system play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic pain, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) regulate both immune and neuronal processes. Therefore, ncRNAPain proposes that ncRNAs are critically important master switches for chronic pain.ncRNAPain represents a multidisciplinary consortium of clinical partners, molecular and systems-level n ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Demonstrating Minicare, a miniaturized biophotonics platform for fast and lab-equivalent Point-of-Care diagnostics (Lab2Go)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

To speed up the availability of cTnI test results (for heart attack indications), a highly integrated, biophotonics based, handheld-device is currently developped by a number of European based companies (Philips, Conworx Technology, Micro Systems Limited and Scienion AG) : Minicare. This device can be used at the patients' bed side by nurses and physicians as well as in ambulances and provides re ...

Language learning in monolingual and bilingual infants: Evidence from electrophysiological and optical signals (InfantBilingualBrain)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Bilingual infants have to deal with two languages at the same time. Some previous studies showed delayed processing in bilinguals due to the higher cognitive load they are faced with. However, other studies show that they master this challenging task with a fascinating ease and at the same pace as monolingual infants. In order to get clearer insights into language learning processing mechanisms in ...

Coherently Advanced Tissue and Cell Holographic Imaging and Trapping (CATCHIT)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

We envisage a new generation of dynamic holographic laser tweezers and stretching tools with unprecedented spatial control of gradient and scattering light forces, to unravel functional mysteries of cell biology and genetics: Based on our recently developed, highly successful and widely recognized amplitude and phase shaping techniques with cascaded spatial light modulators (SLM), we will create n ...
