Microbiome Influence on Energy balance and Brain Development-Function Put into Action to Tackle Diet-related Diseases and Behavior (MyNewGut)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiome contributes to our ability to extract energy from the diet and influences development and function of the immune, endocrine and nervous systems, which regulate energy balance and behaviour. This has led to hypothesize that developing microbiome-based dietary interventions can be cost-effective measures to prevent diet-related and behavioural diso ...

Seven League Boots for Music Creation and Performance (GiantSteps)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The GiantSteps project aims to create the "seven-league boots" for music production in the next decade and beyond. We envision digital musical tools that unleash the creative potential of practitioners by targeting three directions:1 Developing and integrating musical expert agents, supportive and inspirational systems for melody, harmony, rhythm, structure or style, providing suggestions from sam ...

Cancer Genomics of the Kidney (CAGEKID)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) has the goal of obtaining a comprehensive description of genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in 50 different tumour types and/or subtypes, with the aim of elucidating the genomic changes present in the many forms of cancers that contribute to the burden of disease throughout the world. We present a proposal for a European contribution to ...

A translational approach evaluating novel strategies using chemotherapy to enhance immune-mediated anti-tumor activity (chemo-immune therapy)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
A wealth of successful pre-clinical immunotherapy-based treatment protocols against cancer have been documented, yet only a limited number of clinical trials have proven to be successful. A common consensus among clinical and bench-side researchers is that a combination of several treatment modalities should be used to achieve complete tumor regression. In recent years, evidence that chemotherapy ...

Targeting IGF-1 receptor in liver cancer with focus on its mechanistic role in transcription and its interaction with the cell cycle machinery (IGF1RHC)
Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Mar 30, 2012,
"The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is a cell surface receptor kinase being vastly expressed in malignant tissues and plays crucial roles in growth and survival of cancer cells. Targeting IGF-1R is pharmaceutically today a very attractive concept. Larsson’s group at KI has contributed extensively to the current knowledge about IGF-1R and demonstrated that the cyclolignan PPP inhibi ...
