Patient specific image-based computational modelling for \nimprovement of short- and long-term outcome of vascular access \nin patient on hemodialysis therapy (ARCH)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
More than half a million people live in Europe on chronic renal replacement therapy by hemodialysis (HD). This number increases annually at a constant rate of 8%. The Achilles heel of HD is the vascular access (VA) used to connect patient circulation to the artificial kidney. The current recommendation for VA is the native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), surgically created in the forearm. VA dysfunct ...

Targeting alpha-particle emitting radionuclides to combat cancer (TARCC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"This project aims at improving drug delivery to cancer cells by developing targeted radiotherapy with alpha-emitting radionuclides. Alpha particles emitted by radionuclides have short tracks (about 100 microns) in body tissues. As a result, they should be most appropriate to treat small-size tumours and isolated cancer cells. This project proposes the development of improved vectors and targeting ...
