Epilepsy Pharmacogenomics: delivering biomarkers for clinical use (EpiPGX)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
The purpose of the project is to identify genome-based biomarkers for use in clinical practice to individualise treatment of epilepsy, and stratify patients for clinical trials, aiming to avoid chronicity, prevent relapse and reduce adverse drug reactions (ADRs).The need for improved treatments in epilepsy is undoubted. Epilepsy is affects 50,000,000 people of all ages worldwide. Epilepsy is serio ...

Effects of Climate Change on Air Pollution Impacts and Response Strategies for European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
ÉCLAIRE investigates the ways in which climate change alters the threat of air pollution on European land ecosystems including soils. Based on field observations, experimental data and models, it establishes new flux, concentration and dose-response relationships, as a basis to inform future European policies.Starting with biosphere-atmosphere exchange measurements, ÉCLAIRE quantifies how global w ...

Development of novel treatment strategies based on knowledge of cellular dysfunction in diabetes (BetaBat)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
A reduction in functional pancreatic beta cell mass is the key feature of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Beta cell failure is exacerbated in the context of obesity and insulin resistance. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly metabolic organ, mediating energy dissipation and glucose disposal, thus contributing to maintain energy balance. BAT dysfunction contributes to obesity and impaired glucose me ...

Broadening the Bioinformatics Infrastructure to unicellular, animal, and plant science (ALLBIO)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
The main aim of AllBio will be the coordination of the partner's activities that are aimed at the extension of a large number of bioinformatics facilities towards applicability in target life science areas beyond human health. Bioinformatics facilities developed for the human health area will be extensively tested on unicellular (incl. bacterial), plant and (farm) animal genomes, and they will be ...

Coastal Research Network On Environmental Changes (CREC)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,
Coastal wetlands experience dramatic changes as a consequence of temperature increase, sea level rise, or nutrient accumulation. This has raised great concern about the future fate of such systems, their functioning and services. Conservation policies are in need of new approaches in order to understand the complex feedback mechanisms driving organismic responses to environmental changes, and impr ...

BRinging Alternative INdicators into POLicy (BRAINPOoL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
In the last four years, Beyond GDP indicators have rapidly risen up the political agenda and enjoyed greater public awareness. High profile initiatives have included nef’s Happy Planet Index, launched in 2006, the EU’s Beyond GDP initiative – starting with the Beyond GDP conference in 2007, the OECD’s Measuring the Progress of Societies project, and in 2009, the publication of the recommendations ...

InContext: Individuals in Context: Supportive Environments for Sustainable Living (InContext)
Date du début: 15 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 14 oct. 2013,
InContext will investigate drivers and barriers for sustainability and their interplay on an individual and collective level. InContext assumes that both individual and collective behaviours respond to an external context (like social norms, policies, and infrastructure) and an internal context (like needs, values and priorities). So far, initiatives to further sustainable development have focused ...

No Pain during infancy by adapting off-patent medicines (NeoOpioid)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
Preterm and newborn infant may suffer from pain in the same way as adults. They are even more sensitive to pain due to immaturity of endogenous modulation. Thus, they should have the same human right to be alleviated from pain. The overall aim of this project is to assess effects and safety of opioid treatment in very preterm up to full term newborn infants in relation to pharmacokinetics predisp ...
