Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe - Molecules against Gram Negative Infections (COMBACTE-MAGNET)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2021,
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health threat, and most troublesome is the rapid emergence and dissemination of multidrug resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is an unmet medical need to prevent P. aeruginosa infection in critically ill patients and to develop new antibiotics for infections caused by Gram-negative bacte ...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is both the most common and lethal primary malignant brain tumor. In the last century we have accumulated tremendous amounts of data on this type of cancer, but we have achieved very little improvement in its treatment. Despite decades of concerted effort and advances in surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, the median survival is 15 months. The inadequate progress in ...

RNA-Mediated Inheritance of Acquired Traits (TransgenerationalRNA)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
Inheritance of acquired traits is a topic of long-standing interest and controversy. While some of the classic Lamarckian ideas have been dismissed, more recent observations suggest that certain characteristics acquired by an animal during its lifetime might be transmitted to the next generations. Recently I described, for the first time in animals, a biological context in which acquired traits ar ...
