Model-based preclinical development of anti-tuberculosis drug combinations (PREDICT-TB)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Oct 30, 2017,

Drug development in TB requires new integrated methods to transition the novel combination regimens needed to shorten first-line therapy and combat multi-drug resistance. Although new agents are emerging, the path to registration of such regimens remains uncertain while capacity for pivotal trials is limited. Selection and optimization of drug combinations for development depends on preclinical sy...

Infection biology training network: shaping the future of infectious diseases treatments (INBIONET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"The increasing number of bacteria resistant to all antibiotics and antimicrobials and the virtual lack of antiviral drugs make necessary to develop therapeutics based on new targets/approaches. European-wide-acting sectors must permanently improve their capabilities and capacities to cope with these challenges. Thus, the demand for experts trained to understand infectious diseases in their whole ...

Evaluation of the efficacy and of the antiviral activity of T-705 (favipiravir) duringEbola virus infection in non-human primates humans (REACTION)

Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest and deadliest the world has ever seen. In September 2014, the number of EBOV cases exceeded the total of all cases from previous known outbreaks. Further, this public health crisis shifted into a complex emergency, with significant, social, economic, humanitarian, political and security dimensions. Till date, no effective medicine has been p...

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...

More Medicines for Tuberculosis (MM4TB)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

The More Medicines for Tuberculosis (MM4TB) consortium evolved from the highly successful FP6 project, New Medicines for TB (NM4TB), that delivered a candidate drug for clinical development two years ahead of schedule. Building on these firm foundations and exploiting its proprietary pharmacophores, MM4TB will continue to develop new drugs for TB treatment. An integrated approach will be impleme...

Open Collaborative Model for Tuberculosis Lead Optimisation (ORCHID)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

"Early stage Drug Discovery efforts over the last 5 years have resulted in the identification of a number of promising lead compounds in the fight against TB. These leads need to be further progressed and optimised into candidates for pre-clinical development through the Drug Development progression cascade.Three compound families are of particular interest: 1) InhA Inhibitors, 2) New potent whole...

Optimization of stem cell therapy for clinical trials of degenerative skin and muscle diseases (OptiStem)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

This proposal aims to develop and implement efficacy of clinical trials with adult, tissue stem cells for degenerative diseases of epithelia and skeletal muscle. Extraordinary progress in the understanding of several key features of stem cells has been rapidly translated into novel cell therapy protocols that have yielded positive results in pre-clinical models of genetic and acquired diseases and...

NOTCH SIGNALING IN DEVELOPMENT AND PATHOLOGY (NotchIT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Eight partners from six different EU countries will converge in NotchIT, a multi-site ITN aimed to increase the knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Notch signaling regulates the development and pathology of different tissues. Notch signaling plays a key role in cell-fate determination and differentiation of various cell types and aberrant Notch signaling is associated with path...

Evolutionary microfluidics (eFlux)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

Ever since the insightful suggestion of John von Neumann, self-reproducing automata are considered to be a main long-term goal of IT. Biologists are dealing with such systems that arose in the course of evolution by natural selection. The future realization of technological artefacts that will mimic, or be inspired by biological automata, will face many problems that biological evolution had to so...

Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

The human brain can be seen as an immensely powerful, energy efficient, self-learning, self-repairing computer. If we could understand and mimic the way the brain works, we could revolutionize information technology, medicine and society. But to do so we have to bring together everything we know and everything we can learn about the inner workings of the brain's molecules, cells and circuits. The ...

Novel secretion systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and their role in host-pathogen interaction (NOVSEC-TB)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"Tuberculosis is a major public health threat to the populations of Europe and the world. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of the disease, can multiply and persist within phagocytic cells and this early event is of primary importance for the outcome of the infection. The main objectives of this proposal are to use highly innovative approaches in molecular and cell biology, biochem...
