Dengue research Framework for Resisting Epidemics in Europe (DENFREE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"WHO estimates that one of the main consequences of global warming will be an increased burden of vector-borne diseases. Among these, dengue appears to be particularly problematic, with tens of millions of cases of dengue fever estimated to occur annually, including up to 500,000 cases of the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. In recent years, the global burden of den ...

A European Initial Training Network on the History, Archaeology, and New Genetics of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (EUROTAST)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
The principal aim of this ITN is to examine the history of the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies from a variety of different angles. The idea is to hire thirteen Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and two Experienced Researchers (ERs) across Europe and a wide range of disciplines, including history, archaeology, sociology, heritage studies and genetics, to investigate various aspects of the s ...

Integrated Micro-Nano-Opto Fluidic systems for high-content diagnosis and studies of rare cancer cells (CAMINEMS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
...ar typing of cancers, this key innovation will be integrated with a unique fully automated flow control system working from nanolitres to millilitres and with innovative nano-optics tools and image analysis software. Technological developments will be validated regarding the analysis of circulating tumour cells or “micrometastases” and the molecular typing of minimally invasive microsamples from ...

Discovery of novel cancer serum biomarkers based on aberrant post translational modifications of O-glycoproteins (O-PTM-Biomarkers) and their application to early detection of cancer (O-PTM-Biomarkers)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,
Early detection accomplished through an efficient screening programme remains the most promising approach to improve the long-term survival of cancer patients. Therefore there is a pressing need for the development of biomarkers, which detect the early changes for cancers where clinical symptoms only appear when the cancer has progressed, and treatment is ineffective. Our proposal, which addresses ...
