Breast CAncer STratification: understanding the determinants of risk and prognosis of molecular subtypes (B-CAST)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,
Breast tumours are heterogeneous, and result from the complex interplay of multiple lifestyle/environmental and genetic risk factors. Through the EU-funded COGS project, we have identified a large number of germline variants that influence the risk of breast cancer. In combination, these variants can identify women at wide ranges of genetic risk, even in the absence of family history of breast can ...

Commitment, maturation and infectivity of sexual stage malaria parasites in natural infections (COSMIC)
Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2020,
Background: One of the major challenges for malaria control and elimination is the phenomenally efficient spread of malaria through sexual stage malaria parasites (gametocytes). The epidemiology and dynamics of gametocytes are poorly understood: it is presently unknown when commitment to gametocytes first occurs during infections and what intrinsic or extrinsic factors influence gametocyte product ...

INDEPTH Training and Research Centres of Excellence (INTREC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
The major causes of poor health are rooted in our societies. Governments are encouraged to lead global action on the social determinants of health with the aim of achieving health equity. This requires setting-specific, timely and relevant evidence on the relationship between determinants and outcomes which is yet limited, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This calls for rese ...

Diamond based atomic nanotechnologies (DIAMANT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
The ability to engineer materials at the level of single atoms is rapidly becoming an urgent practical requirement as new technologies demand ever smaller devices. However, such a capability also offers profoundly new functionality for molecular-scale devices. The DIAMANT team has pioneered the discovery and development of diamond as a uniquely promising material system for solid-state molecular t ...

Atomic QUantum TEchnologies (AQUTE)
End date: Feb 1, 2010,
The overall objectives of the AQUTE project areA) To develop quantum technologies based on atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) systems for* scalable quantum computation;* entanglement-enabled technologies like metrology and sensing.B) To establish and exploit new interdisciplinary connections, coming from AMO physics, but also including concepts and experimental settings of solid state systems, in ...
