Heart OMics in AGEing (HOMAGE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

As more people survive into old age, the prevalence of heart failure (HF), one of the most common and debilitating diseases in older people, will rise still further. Delaying or preventing HF will have great benefit to those at personal risk, their families, society and the economy. HOMAGE aims to provide a biomarker (BM) approach that will a) help identify i. patients at high risk of developing ...

Development of a sustainable exploitation scheme for Europe’s Rare Earth ore deposits (EURARE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

With numerous European industries heavily depended on imported REE raw materials, there is a need for EU to secure a viable supply of REE minerals as well as develop from the ground up the currently non-existent European REE extraction and processing industry. The goal of the EURARE project will be (i) to characterize the potential REE resources in Europe; and (ii) to research, develop, optimize a ...

Towards Tissue Engineering Solutions for Cardiovascular Surgery (TECAS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"The aim of the TECAS ITN is to integrate the major European contributors in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine (RM), to generate a coherent framework of expertise which will facilitate the training and career development of early stage researchers (ESRs) in the field. In particular, the intention of this ITN is to focus on the clinical needs of cardiac v ...

European clinical study for the application of regenerative heart valves (ESPOIR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Acquired and congenital heart disease can necessitate heart valve replacement. However, current heart valve substitutes are not considered ideal as they need anticoagulation, bearing the risk of bleeding when manufactured from non-organic material, or they degenerate when they derive from animals or human tissue donators (homografts) thereby leading to frequent reoperation especially in the young ...

Virtual certification of acoustic performance for freight and passenger trains (ACOUTRAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

ACOUTRAIN will simplify and improve the acoustic certification process of new rolling stock, in particular relating to the TSI Noise. Today the need of conformity assessment for a new vehicle according to the TSI Noise represents a significant element of both cost and time to market due to the need to carry out expensive and time consuming tests. The goal of the proposed project is to speed up the ...

Genetic testing in Europe - Network for the further development, harmonization, validation and standardization of services (EUROGENTEST2)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

EuroGentest is an FP6 European network for the harmonization of genetic testing and for the further improvement of quality in genetic services across Europe.This proposal is to support EuroGentest2, a Coordination Action that will cover the different aspects of quality assurance of genetic practice and has all the ingredients to fulfil the needs. EuroGentest2 will be concerned with setting the tar ...

Neurobiological Mechanisms of Memory Loss in Alzheimer's Disease (MEMOLOAD)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

"The MEMOLOAD project will focus on the molecular and biological mechanisms underlying memory loss that occurs in Alzheimer’s disease, the leading cause of dementia and an enormous medical, social and economic challenge to Europe. Several lines of evidence point to accumulation of beta-amyloid peptide (Aß) in the brain as the key pathologic event in the disease. There is growing evidence that ...
