Development and Epilepsy - Strategies for Innovative Research to improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment in children with difficult to treat Epilepsy (DESIRE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
DESIRE will focus on epileptogenic developmental disorders EDD, i.e. early onset epilepsies whose origin is closely related to developmental brain processes. A major cause of EDD are malformations of cortical development (MCD), either macroscopic or subtle. EDD are often manifested as epileptic encephalopathies (EE), i.e. conditions in which epileptic activity itself may contribute to severe cogni ...

Biomarker Research Alliance for Diagnosing Heart Disease in the Ageing European Population (BESTAGEING)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
The ageing of the European population represents a rapidly rising social and economic challenge. Especially cardiovascular morbidity increases with age, but unfortunately, elderly patients are often difficult to diagnose due to confounding factors, leading to uncertainties in clinical decision making with huge impact on patients’ outcomes. Hence, there is an unmet need for novel biomarkers for mor ...

Prediction of cognitive properties of new drug candidates for neurodegenerative diseases in the early clinical development (PHARMA-COG)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
PHARMA-COG aims to develop a new integrated model to accelerate the development of drug cindidates for MS, PKD and AD. The innovation relies on a 'multidimensional matrix' approach, integrating all available and renewed inputs (biomarkers/animal, human models/physiological and pharmcological challenges, Phase 0/1/1b to reduce the attrition rate, to allow an early and pertinent GO/NOGO decision bef ...

Replacement of toxic lead compounds by new non-toxic substitutes as brilliant aid agent in polychromatic glazes (LEAD-COLOURED LEAD-FREE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
Background
Over the past decade, the presence of lead in glazes for ceramics has posed health risks for workers exposed to high concentrations, including lead poisoning and neurological problems. Recent studies have also shown that exposure to lead compounds may lead to infertility. Although more restrictions on the use of lead have been introduced, it re ...
