Host and viral factors in acute hepatitis C (HEPACUTE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
Chronic hepatitis C is one of the most common chronic viral infections of humans and a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer. Still about 4 million new infections occur world-wide each year with 50-85% of patients progressing to chronic hepatitis C. Currently there is no marker to predict spontaneous viral clearance and to guide treatment decisions.The major objectives o ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

Invivo Ultrasonic Transponder System for Biomedical Applications (ULTRAsponder)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The key objective of ULTRAsponder is to develop a novel telemetry technology for biomedical applications that will enable any kind of deeply implanted device (the transponder) to communicate and be powered wirelessly via acoustic waves with the external system (the control unit). The implanted transponder will include one or more sensors for monitoring a variety of parameters, such as temperature, ...
