Synthetic biology – Engaging with New and Emerging Science and Technology in Responsible Governance of the Science and Society Relationship (SYN-ENERGENE)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2017,
Synthetic biology (SynBio) offers huge potential for applications in energy, health and the environment. It also brings with it various challenges such as regulatory issues of biosafety, biosecurity and intellectual property rights, as well as potential environmental and socio-economic risks in developing countries. As yet, however, there is scant public knowledge about the technology. It is thus ...

DEVelopment Of innovative Tools for understanding marine biodiversity and assessing good Environmental Status (DEVOTES)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The objectives are to:(i) improve our understanding of human activities impacts (cumulative, synergistic, antagonistic) and variations due to climate change on marine biodiversity, using long-term series (pelagic and benthic). This objective will identify the barriers and bottlenecks (socio-economic and legislative) that prevent the GES being achieved(ii) test the indicators proposed by the EC, an ...

European large-scale functional genomics in the rat for translational research (EURATRANS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Genetic studies in model organisms and humans, including human genome-wide association studies, have pinpointed genomic regions that contribute susceptibility to common disease. However, to date, these data have provided limited insights into the genes, molecular pathways and mechanisms underlying disease pathophysiology.The EU FP6 Euratools consortium has been a remarkable success that establishe ...

The effects of antibiotic administration on the emergence and persistence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans and on the composition of the indigenous microbiotas at various body sites (antiresdev)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
The objective of the HEALTH-2009-2.3.1-2 call is to study the impact of different antibiotics on the prevalence of resistant bacteria in the human host. In ANTIRESDEV we will achieve this objective using the approaches suggested in the call as follows. We will use culture-based and culture-independent approaches to investigate the impact of four different types of antibiotics (with different modes ...

Genomic Regulatory Systems of Human X-linked neurological diseases (NeuroXsys)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
NeuroXsys will generate regulatory maps and models of the human X chromosome based on evolutionary conservation, with special attention to genes and regions implicated in X-linked neurological diseases. Vertebrate chromosomes are subdivided into domains of genomic regulatory blocks (GRBs) and NeuroXsys aims to map all GRBs on the X chromosome through bioinformatic approaches, extract gene regulato ...
