European Medical Information Framework (EMIF)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
In response to the need to tackle increasingly complex medical research questions, a growing amount of human health data is being collected, either in routine Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) databases, through research-driven cohort studies, in biobanks or related efforts. However, data sources are typically fragmented and contain information gaps which prevent their full exploitation. EMIF aim ...

Preserving old antibiotics for the future : assessment of clinical efficacy by a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic approach to optimize effectiveness and reduce resistance for off-patent antibiotics (AIDA)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017,
The AIDA project aims to answer the question of clinical effectiveness and optimal dosing of 5 off-patent antibiotics for infections caused by multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria in three randomized controlled clinical trials. In an era of increasing emergence of drug resistance (EDR) and lack of new antibiotics, old off- patent antibiotics are increasingly being prescribed to patients. However ...

Transforming Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy into a Clinical Tool (TRANSACT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
"In vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Spectroscopic Imaging (MRS(I)) are unique, indispensable techniques for non-invasive metabolic imaging. Important areas where MRS(I) can make a difference are oncology and neurology, where metabolic changes due to, e.g., tumour formation, can be detected earlier and more sensitively than with morphological imaging modalities alone. Despite its huge prov ...

Towards Early diagnosis and biomarker validation in Arthritis Management (EURO-TEAM)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
An ideal intervention in a chronic inflammatory disease such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) would be a preventive one. In order to develop preventive strategies and therapies two key developments need to occur: (1) Biomarkers need to be identified that can be used to predict an individual’s risk of developing RA. (2) Modifiable disease mechanisms need to be identified and characterized in the early ...

The Evolutionary Origins of Agriculture (EOA)
Date du début: 1 mai 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2016,
The transition from a mobile hunter-gatherer lifestyle to one of settled agriculture is arguably the most fundamental change in human development since the origin of the human species, and the major question is why hunter-gatherer populations abandoned this way of life in favour of an agricultural existence. A crucial element in this change is the evolution of the crops upon which agriculture is f ...

Adapting Breast Cancer Screening Strategy Using Personalised Risk Estimation (ASSURE)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
"While early detection of breast cancer by screening appears effective, many women derive little or no benefit from screening, due to the way it is currently organized: as a one-size-fits all approach irrespective of personalised risk factors. It is known, however, that some women are at a much higher risk of getting the disease than others, and that mammography is unsuitable for cancer detection ...
