Female cancer prediction using cervical omics to individualise screening and prevention (FORECEE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,
While prevention of most female specific cancers (ovarian, breast, endometrial) has not progressed substantially in recent years, significant progress has been made with cervical cancer due to accessibility of the cell of origin (cervical smear) and availability of a test for the causal agent (human papilloma virus); together these enable identification of high risk individuals and interventions t ...

"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 ...

Systems biology for the functional validation of genetic determinants of skeletal diseases (SYBIL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
"The aim of SYBIL is to carry out extensive functional validation of the genetic determinants of rare and common skeletal diseases and the age related factors contributing to these painful conditions. To achieve this goal SYBIL will gather complementary translational and transnational scientists, systems biologists, disease modellers, leading SMEs and industrialists that will perform in-depth char ...

Gene Therapy for X-linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) (NET4CGD)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,
This project is focused on the clinical development of a new orphan drug that can rapidly become a new treatment option for patients with the X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD). This rare primary immune deficiency of phagocytes is caused by mutations in the gp91phox gene. Affected patients are highly-susceptible to infections and develop inflammatory granulomas. Several member ...

Phase I/II Gene Therapy Trial of Fanconi anemia patients with a new Orphan Drug consisting of a lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene: A Coordinated International Action (EUROFANCOLEN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by the early development of bone marrow failure and increasing predisposition to cancer with age. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is the only curative therapy for hematopoietic manifestations of FA, although associated with complications arising from myeloablation, graft versus host disease and increased inciden ...

Advanced Cell-based Therapies for the treatment of Primary ImmunoDeficiency (CELL-PID)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
Primary immune deficiencies (PID) are inherited disorders of the adaptive and innate immune system marked by severe infections, autoimmunity and high risk of cancer. Treatment entails hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation from allogeneic donors, however in the absence of an HLA compatible donor, HSCT outcome is limited by delayed or suboptimal reconstitution and complications. SCID-X1 and ...

BEAN – Bridging the European and Anatolian Neolithic: Demography, Migration, and Lifestyle at the Advent of Civilization (BEAN)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2016,
One of the most interesting questions in prehistory is that of the origins of European peoples following the introduction of settled farming life to the continent some 8,000 years ago. The interdisciplinary BEAN network will address this by combining teaching and research in three different fields: i) Anthropology and genetics, ii) computer simulation and modelling, and iii) prehistoric archaeolog ...

Systems prediction of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (SysCLAD)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
Lung transplantation (LT) is the standard of care for selected patients with chronic respiratory failure. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) (i.e. “Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome” (BOS) and “Restrictive Allograft Syndrome” (RAS)) represents a major health risk for LT recipients, requiring the use of heavy treatments and possible retransplantation. Observed in almost 50% of patients afte ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

"Molecular techniques have become more efficient, increasingly precise and much cheaper, resulting in an unprecedented discovery rate of inherited disease genes. In areas such as primary immunodeficiencies (PID), muscle disorders, growth deficiencies, hearing/vision impairments and metabolic diseases, very large numbers of different genes have been found to carry mutations in diseases with heterog ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis W-Beijing genetic diversity and differential virulence and host immune responses (TB-VIR)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2011,
"Improvements in TB control require the development of new tools for rapid and accurate diagnosis and intervention. This development is likely to benefit from more detailed knowledge of microbe-host relationships during infection. Following M. tuberculosis infection, only 5-10% of immunocompetent individuals develop TB. It is increasingly thought that the virulence of the infecting strain, togethe ...
