iABC Programme (IABC PROGRAMME)
Date du début: 1 août 2015, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2020,
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a common fatal inherited disease with a frequency of 1 in 2500 live births, affecting approximately 36,000 (0.737/10,000) people in the EU. Chronic bacterial pulmonary infection leading to an irreversible decline in lung structure and function is the main cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with CF, with more than 95% of deaths due to respiratory failure. Pseudomon ...

Improving European aquaculture by advancing selective breeding to the next level for the six main finfish species (FISHBOOST)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
Only about 10% of today’s global aquaculture production use genetically improved stocks. In Europe, some breeding programmes consist of only the basic components of a breeding scheme. Hence, there is large potential to increase efficiency and profit by domestication and genetic improvement of farmed finfish. The main challenge of FISHBOOST is to realise this potential into economic and social acce ...

"Health and the Understanding of Metabolism, Aging and Nutrition" (HUMAN)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
"Recently intense research identified around 4,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human age related diseases such as metabolic disorders. Despite their highly significant association to pathology, the functional role of these genetic variants is, in most cases, yet to be elucidated. The evolutionary distance of most animal models from humans represents a major limitation fo ...

PRIMES: Protein interaction machines in oncogenic EGF receptor signalling (PRIMES)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
"PRIMES focuses on the role of protein interactions to assemble dynamic molecular machines that receive and process information to coordinate cellular responses. PRIMES investigates the following: (i) How do protein interactions contribute to the generation of biological specificity in signalling? (ii) How do pathogenetic perturbations affect protein interaction networks? (iii) How can we exploit ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

European Soft Matter Infrastructure (ESMI)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The central objective of this ESMI proposal is to create a top-level interdisciplinary research infrastructure available to a broad European materials research community. This is of crucial importance to the EU in view of the European strategy for nanosciences and nanotechnology and its implementation report that identifies “a lack of leading interdisciplinary infrastructures”.ESMI offers the mos ...

Fire risks assessment and increase of passenger survivability (AircraftFire)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
The project aims for the increase of passenger survivability in the case of fire aboard aircraft focused on the next generation of aircraft. The composite materials and other combustible materials are increasingly used in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft or to higher the passenger comfort, but they raise the fire load significantly. Although these materials have passed the certification ...

Strong Interaction Supercomputing Training Network (STRONGnet)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
The research aims at a deeper understanding of properties of strongly interacting matter. This is mainly done by means of numerical simulations of the underlying theory (QCD) on supercomputers (Lattice QCD). We wish to understand QCD for its own sake and as a prototype of a strongly interacting fundamental theory. Therefore we will calculate the spectrum of mesons, baryons and of exotic states, th ...

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 ...

Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2012,
As the use of nanoparticles becomes more prevalent, it is clear that human exposure will inevitably increase. Considering the rapidly ageing European population and the resulting increase in the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, there is an urgent need to address the risk presented by nanoparticles towards neurodegenerative diseases. It is believed that nanoparticles can pass through the bl ...
