Training Network for the Immunotherapy of Cancer (IMMUTRAIN)

Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

In the European Union, cancer is the leading cause of death and the overall cancer incidence is still increasing. As a result of expanding efforts to improve cancer outcome, a main paradigm change is occurring in cancer therapy towards individualized medicine. Antibody-based therapies form an integral and constantly growing part of this approach. Antibody-based therapies will strongly influence th ...

VitaminD3-Omega3-Home Exercise- HeALTHy Ageing and Longevity Trial (DO-HEALTH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

As the European population is ageing rapidly, the growing number of seniors with age-related chronic diseases poses a challenge on European societies and health care systems. Therapeutic interventions that are effective, affordable and well-tolerated in the prevention of chronic disease are urgently needed and will have an outstanding impact on public health as a whole. Among the most promising in ...

The Sugar Code: from (bio)chemical concept to clinics (GLYCOPHARM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Coding of biochemical information is commonly described to be based solely on nucleotides and amino acids, whereas carbohydrates, the most abundant type of molecule in Nature, appear sidelined in this respect. That carbohydrates, as part of cellular glycoconjugates, have exceptional talents for building biochemical signals is an emerging insight, at the heart of the concept of the Sugar Code. Intu ...

High Throughput Systematic Single Cell Genomics using Micro/Nano-Fluidic Chips for Extracting, Pre-analysing, Selecting and Preparing Sequence-ready DNA (CELL-O-MATIC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

We propose a technology that will sit at the front-end of sequencing pipelines, present and future, and will significantly enhance the quality and throughput of DNA sequencing.Although much attention has been given to throughput/cost of the sequencing process itself, the same cannot be said for the preparation of samples. Identified bottlenecks are (1) sequencing technologies require days of upfro ...

Detection of endpoints and biomarkers of repeated dose toxicity using in vitro systems (DETECTIVE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Assessment of repeated dose toxicity is a standard requirement in human safety evaluation and relies on animal testing as no alternatives are currently accepted for regulatory purposes. An integrated research strategy for the replacement of animal tests needs to comprise the development of biomarkers of long-term toxicity in human target cells. To this aim, the DETECTIVE project will set up a scr ...

Type 1 Diabetes Self-Management and Carbohydrate Counting: A Computer Vision based Approach (GoCARB)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Patients with diabetes must be taught how to achieve glycaemic control by monitoring their glucose levels properly. They are medicated with either exogenous insulin or other drugs and encouraged to improve their diet and physical activity. Although studies have shown that planning meals and counting carbohydrates is of great importance for diabetic patients, even well trained diabetic patients fin ...

Genome-based biomarkers leading to validated molecular diagnostic tests for response prediction in breast cancer (RESPONSIFY)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

Individualisation of cancer therapy based on standardized biomarker assays is one of the most demanding challenges in cancer medicine. In the RESPONSIFY consortium, we will integrate information on response prediction from different breast cancer types and methodologies into biomarker tests for targeted therapies in the clinical routine setting. Those tests will be developed for commercialisation ...

Development and analysis of polymer based multi-functional bactericidal materials (EMBEK1)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

90% of bacteria are found attached to solid surfaces forming structures (bio-films), that are inaccessible to drugs and antibiotics. These bio-films represent a major problem in European society in both industry and health care. Currently, however, we understand little about how these bio-films form and, more importantly, how they can be prevented. This lack of understanding means that patients of ...
