Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...

Genomic & Epigenomic Complex Disease Epidemiology (GEoCoDE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
Genetic and epigenetic epidemiology are rapidly developing aspects of population-based health research that have clear translational potential. These endeavours both benefit considerably from extensive international collaborations. Establishing robust associations between genetic variation and common complex disease phenotypes requires very large sample sizes than can only realistically be generat ...

"Health Effects of Indoor Pollutants: Integrating microbial, toxicological and epidemiological approaches" (HITEA)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
"Healthy housing and good indoor air quality are important goals of public health. However, biological indoor pollution due to dampness, moisture and mold is an emerging environmental health issue, as recognized in EU indoor air policy documents. Prevalence of dampness is remarkable, and may still increase due to demands of energy savings and extreme weather periods and floods associated with clim ...

The impact of climatic and environmental factors on personal ultraviolet radiation exposure and human health (ICEPURE)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2013,
We will determine the adverse and beneficial health effects of personal UVR exposure and their relationships with climatic and environmental factors that modify the solar UVR spectrum. Date and time stamped personal electronic wristwatch dosimeters will be worn to measure individual UVR exposure over extended periods. Satellite and ground station data will be gathered to establish terrestrial UVR ...

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RISKS IN EUROPEAN BIRTH COHORTS (ENRIECO)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
"The overall aim of ENRIECO is to advance our knowledge on specific environment and health causal relationships in pregnancy and birth cohorts by providing support to exploitation of the wealth of data generated by past or ongoing studies funded by the EC and national programmes. Specific objectives are to make inventories of birth cohorts, assure quality and interoperability of exposure, health ...

Agenda for Research on Chernobyl Health (ARCH): to develop of a Strategic Plan for Research on the Health Consequences of Radiation from the Chernobyl Accident (ARCH)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2010,
The Chernobyl accident led to the most serious exposure of a normal human population to ionising radiation, apart from the atomic bombings in Japan. Unlike the bombing, the health impact of Chernobyl has not been comprehensively studied. In some areas (eg thyroid cancer), research has been intensive and informative; in others, little work has been conducted. The validity of extrapolating radiation ...

Prospective cohort studies of children with substantial medical diagnostic exposure (CHILD-MED-RAD)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2009,
The growing use of diagnostic X-rays and of high-dose techniques (CT, interventions) in children and adolescents is a topic of concern in radiological protection. Studies of other populations indicate that children are generally more sensitive to health effects of radiation than adults. In addition, children have a longer life-span to express any radiation-related health effect and, because of the ...
