Understanding chronic pain and new druggable targets: Focus on glial-opioid receptor interface (GLORIA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
"Chronic pain is prevalent and it causes decreased quality of life and significant costs to the society in terms of lost working capacity. Currently available analgesics are either not effective enough or patients cannot take them due to adverse effects. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a major cause of drug-related morbidity and mortality. Opioids can cause tolerance and addiction when u ...

Multimodal Imaging of Neurological Disorders (MINDView)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The key concept behind this proposal is the development of a very high resolution and high efficiency brain dedicated Positron Emission Tomograph (PET) imager that can visualize neurotransmitter pathways and their disruptions in the quest to better diagnose and consequently to better treat schizophrenia. In addition, the plan is for this compact PET imager to be integrated with a Magnetic Resonanc ...

Biomaterials for Tracheal Replacement in Age-related Cancer via a Humanly Engineered Airway (BIOtrachea)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
Age-related cancers, especially of the trachea, are neoplastic lesions that significantly impact upon the lives of thousands of European patients each year. Unfortunately, most present with inoperable lesions for which median survival is less than 12 months. Based on our previous clinically successful experiences with in vivo completely tissue engineered tracheal replacement in benign tracheal dis ...
