Pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes - Testing the Hygiene Hypothesis (DIABIMMUNE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
"Preliminary data indicate that there is a strong association between the incidence of immune-mediated diseases and improving standard of living and hygiene. One of the steepest gradient in standard of living worldwide is present at the border between Russian Karelia and Finland with a sevenfold difference in the gross national product, while Estonia represents a country in rapid transition. These ...

Targeted Nanosystems for Improving Photodynamic Therapy and Diagnosis of Cancer (NANOPHOTO)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"The overall objective of this proposal is the development of one or more nanosystems loaded with Foscan® and conjugated to cancer cell specific ligands for improving the efficacy and selectivity of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and optimise a fluorescence-based tumour imaging approach. At present, PDT with Foscan® can be very effective but is not selective because Foscan® accumulates in the tumour ...

Building a knowledge Repository for Occupational Well-being Economics Research (ROWER)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
"The proposed project aims to settle the fundamental basis that will enhance research on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Economics, which will allow for the development of policies regarding this issue. This goal will be achieved through a Support Action which will bring together the leading OHS Economists in Europe. Their knowledge will be gathered, interpreted and made available to the comm ...

"COPD Pathology: Addressing Critical gaps, Early Treatment and Innovative Concepts" (COPACETIC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
"COPD is the only chronic disease with an increasing mortality and it will constitute the 4th leading cause of death by 2035 world wide. To alleviate the burden of COPD an accurate and easy diagnosis in the early stages of COPD needs to be developed. Many studies strongly suggest that there is an individual genetic susceptibility to COPD: only 10-15% of all smokers develop COPD. In another study, ...
