Disarming the intravascular innate immune response to improve treatment modalities for chronic kidney disease (DIREKT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"Chronic kidney disease is world wide a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). 800.000 patients in Europe and in the US, respectively, require long-term treatment initially with peritoneal dialysis, followed by hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. Each ESRD patient on hemodialysis costs ≈€40000 to €80000 per year, has extremely poor quality of life and an average life expectancy of onl ...

IMAging GEnetics for MENtal Disorders (IMAGEMEND)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
"Mental disorders are leading causes of disability, absence from work and premature retirement in Europe. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities are broadly available and a vast research literature exists, few neuroimaging applications have reached clinical practice in psychiatry. A major problem is that mental illnesses are currently diagnosed as discrete entities defined clinically. I ...

COELIAC DISEASE: UNDERSTANDING HOW A FOREIGN PROTEIN DRIVES AUTOANTIBODY FORMATION (AUTO-CD)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
"The goal of this project is to understand the mechanism of how highly disease specific autoantibodies are generated in response to the exposure to a foreign antigen. IgA autoantibodies reactive with the enzyme transglutaminase 2 (TG2) are typical of coeliac disease (CD). These antibodies are only present in subjects who are HLA-DQ2 or -DQ8, and their production is dependent on dietary gluten exp ...

The PI3K-III complex: Function in cell regulation and tumour suppression (PI3K-III complex)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Phosphoinositides (PIs), phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), control cellular functions through recruitment of cytosolic proteins to specific membranes. Among the kinases involved in PI generation, the PI3K-III complex, which catalyzes conversion of PtdIns into PtdIns 3-phosphate (PI3P), is of great interest for several reasons. Firstly, it is required for three topologica ...
