Big Data in Chemistry (BIGCHEM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The advent of the big data era in chemistry and the life sciences requires the development of new computational analysis methods, which are not only of scientific, but also economic relevance. Currently, the international data market already grows six times faster than the entire IT sector, and growth rates further increase. Achieving and sustaining a leadership positions in the big data arena rep ...

Cancer treatment and monitoring through identification of circulating tumour cells and tumour related nucleic acids in blood (CANCER-ID)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Blood-based biomarkers such as Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs), circulating free tumor DNA (cfDNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have the potential to improve the development of personalized medicines for cancer patients. This is of particular importance when biopsies of the primary tumor or metastases are not accessible (e.g. at early disease stages or in minimal residual disease) or possible and the ass ...

From DISCOvery to products: A next generation pipeline for the sustainable generation of high-value plant products (DISCO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

"Plant natural products have been utilised by human civilisation for millennia, providing vital medicines and essential dietary components. More recently bioactive compounds from plant sources have been used in cosmetics, as health supplements and are important components of feedstuffs. Despite significant investments new activities and new sustainable biosources are required to alleviate our reli ...

Oral biopharmaceutics tools (ORBITO)

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

The OrBiTo project will deliver novel methods and a framework for rational application of predictive biopharmaceutics tools for oral drug delivery. This will be achieved through novel propsective studies to define new methodlogies which will be validated using historical datasets from EFPIA partners. A combination of high quality in vitro or in silico characterizations of API and formulations will ...

OncoTrack - Methods for systematic next generation oncology biomarker development (ONCOTRACK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

We propose here an exhaustive analysis of the genome, exome, methylome and transcriptome of primary tumours and metastases from patients with colon carcinoma, based on a combination of deep sequencing and chip based techniques. Dependent on their availability, we shall also perform analyses of tumor stem cells, circulating tumor cells, free tumor DNA in serum and xenografts derived from the same p ...

Interdisciplinary training network for Tourette Syndrome; structuring European Training capacities for neurodevelopmental disorders (TS-EUROTRAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

There is a striking lack in structured and standardized training infrastructure for neurodevelopmental disorders across Europe. Such training will be fundamental to promoting standards of care across Europe and will ultimately lead to strategies for the promotion of childhood mental health in Europe. The focus of this Initial Training Network (ITN) is Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (TS), an inheri ...

Mucus Permeating Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery Systems (ALEXANDER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The objective of the ALEXANDER project is the identification of novel strategies (e.g., proteolytic enzyme strategy, thiomer strategy, zeta potential changing systems, SNEDDS strategy) and the optimization of existing strategies (e.g., disulfide breaking strategy and slippery surface strategy) for the efficient transport of nanocarriers through the mucus gel layer (e.g., intestinal, nasal, ocular, ...

Transport and signalling in Polarized Cells (TRANSPOL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"Aberrant molecular signalling and intracellular trafficking are the molecular cause of many human diseases. TRANSPOL is an interdisciplinary initial stage training network (ITN) at the intersection of cell/molecular biology and membrane physics aimed specifically at the molecular understanding of the functional relationship between intracellular trafficking and cellular signalling and their relev ...

Academic-Industrial Training Network on Alpha-Synuclein-related Brain Diseases (NEURASYNC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is characterized pathologically by the accumulation of aggregated conformations of the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein (ASYN) in cytoplasmic inclusions termed Lewy Bodies (LBs). Furthermore, aberrant aggregated species of ASYN accumulate in various disease states, such as Multiple System Atrophy, Diffuse LB Dise ...
