Breast CAncer STratification: understanding the determinants of risk and prognosis of molecular subtypes (B-CAST)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,
Breast tumours are heterogeneous, and result from the complex interplay of multiple lifestyle/environmental and genetic risk factors. Through the EU-funded COGS project, we have identified a large number of germline variants that influence the risk of breast cancer. In combination, these variants can identify women at wide ranges of genetic risk, even in the absence of family history of breast can ...

Phylogeography and somatic evolution of cancer tumor cells (PHYLOCANCER)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2019,
"By far, most evolutionary research has focused on the changes that occur in the germline of individuals across generations, within and between species. For different reasons, much less attention has been given to the process of change within the somatic line of a multicellular individual. The formation of cancer tumors due to uncontrolled cell proliferation is one of the most prominent forms of s ...

Dynamics of human genome architecture in stable and transient gene expression changes (4D-GENOME)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019,
The classical view of genomes as linear sequences has been replaced by a vision of nuclear organization that is both dynamic and complex, with chromosomes and genes non-randomly positioned in the nucleus. Process compartmentalization and spatial location of genes modulate the transcriptional output of the genomes. However, how the interplay between genome structure and gene regulation is establish ...

RD-CONNECT: An integrated platform connecting registries, biobanks and clinical bioinformatics for rare disease research (RD-CONNECT)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2018,
Despite examples of excellent practice, rare disease (RD) research is still mainly fragmented by data and disease types. Individual efforts have little interoperability and almost no systematic connection between detailed clinical and genetic information, biomaterial availability or research/trial datasets. By developing robust mechanisms and standards for linking and exploiting these data, RD-Con ...

BBMRI - Large Prospective Cohorts (BBMRI-LPC)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
In recent years, biomedical research has crossed international borders in large, collaborative studies showing the value of multidisciplinarity and scale advantage. This has yielded valuable insights and some led to new and better medicines and treatments for diseases. However, disease-focused studies provide less insight in the real disease onset, the relative disease burden in the population, an ...

Markers for emphysema versus airway disease in COPD (EvA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
COPD is characterized by emphysema (destruction of the lung alveoli) and airway disease (inflammation and thickening of the bronchial wall) both of which lead to airway obstruction. These two features co-exist in most patients but some patients present with only emphysema (E) or only airway disease (A). The aim of the project is to identify markers specific to E and A of COPD. Our hypothesis is th ...
