Protecting the food chain from prions: shaping European priorities through basic and applied research (PRIORITY)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
"Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) started, 20 years ago, a devastating health and food crisis throughout Europe. Classical BSE is now under control as a result of the meat and bone meal ban. However, tonsil analyses suggest that there may be an alarmingly high number of asymptomatic PrPSc positive cases. Transmission through blood transfusion is another important concern, as are recent “atyp ...

OBesogenic Endocrine disrupting chemicals: LInking prenatal eXposure to the development of obesity later in life (OBELIX)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
"The incidence of childhood obesity has reached ‘epidemic’ proportions globally and there is an urgent need to increase our understanding of the impact of food contaminants on obesity development. The OBELIX project will examine the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in food plays a role in the development of obesity later in life. OBELIX proposes a multidis ...

"The development, validation and implementation of human systemic Toxic Equivalencies (TEQs) as biomarkers for dioxin-like compounds" (SYSTEQ)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
"Chlorinated dioxins and biphenyls (PCBs) commonly occur in the human food chain and can still be detected at levels that might cause long term health effects. Exposure to dioxin-like compounds involves a complex mixture with a common mechanism of action involving endocrine, developmental, carcinogenic, immuno and neurological effects. Risk assessment is done with an additive model for mixture tox ...

Development of methodology for alternative testing strategies for the assessment of the toxicological profile of nanoparticles used in medical diagnostics (NanoTEST)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Nanoparticles (NP) have unique, potentially beneficial properties, but their possible impact on human health has not been adequately assessed. The main goal of this proposal is to develop alternative high-throughput testing strategies using in vitro and in silico methods to assess the toxicological profile of NP used in medical diagnostics. Our specific aims are to: 1. Define NP properties and ful ...

European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials (NanoImpactNet)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Recent technological advances allow the targeted production of objects and materials in the nanoscale (smaller than 100 nm). Nanomaterials have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics, which are different from those of larger entities of the same materials. Nanoparticles can pass through body barriers. This is interesting for medical applications, but it raises concerns about their health ...

Optimization of Radiation Protection of Medical Staff (ORAMED)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2011,
"The state-of-the-art analysis performed in the FP6 CONRAD project highlighted high extremity doses and a lack of systematic data analysis on exposures to the staff in interventional radiology (IR) and nuclear medicine (NM). To optimize the working procedures in the medical field with respect to radiation protection, a project focussed on improving the knowledge on extremity and eye lens exposures ...
