Unbiased Biomarkers for the Prediction of Respiratory Disease Outcomes (U-BIOPRED)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

RationaleThe inability of pre-clinical studies to predict clinical efficacy is a major bottleneck in drug development. In severe asthma this bottleneck results from: a lack of useful and validated biomarkers, underperforming pre-clinical models, inadequate and incomplete sub-phenotyping, and insufficient disease understanding.HypothesisThe use of biomarker profiles comprised of various types of hi ...

“Effect of diet on the mental performance of children” (NUTRIMENTHE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Current evidence on the effect of diet on mental performance (MP) is largely based on animal, retrospective studies, and short-term nutritional intervention studies in humans. NUTRIMENTHE will significantly improve this knowledge through studying the role, mechanisms, risks & benefits of specific nutrients & food components to respond to specific needs and improve the MP of children. The research ...

Development of a Novel Treatment for Clostridium Difficile (DNTCD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"We wish to exploit the need for effective treatment for nosocomial diarrhoea especially that caused by Clostridium difficiledisease (CDD). Patients treated with broad spectrum antibiotics are at greatest risk of CDD diarrhoea and many of thoseaffected are hospitalised elderly patients with serious underlying illnesses. Antibiotics can cause disruption of the normalintestinal flora, an important p ...
