[PROJECT] CHIBCHA - Genetic study of Common Hereditary Bowel Cancers in Hispania and the Americas
ID: 223678
Start date: 2009-06-01, End date: 2013-05-31
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in both sexes, has relatively poor outcome and has no major avoidable risk factor. Recent studies have shown that common inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can increase cancer risk. We have shown CRC risk to be associated with S...

[PROJECT] NEUTNET - STANDARDISATION OF HIV NEUTRALISATION ASSAYS TO BE USED IN VACCINE RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS
ID: 12190
Start date: 2005-01-01, End date: 2007-03-31
The efficacy of viral vaccines can be confirmed by large sero-epidemiological studies where occurrence of a certain type(s) of functional antibody correlates with protection. In general, antibodies with virus neutralising function are the best correlates o f protection. Follow...

[PROJECT] VIROCLIME - Impact of climate change on the transport, fate and risk management of viral pathogens in water
ID: 243923
Start date: 2010-01-01, End date: 2013-03-31
The use of hydrological models to determine the effects of climate change on the variation in viral flux, and therefore in risk associated with viral disease, constitutes a novel approach to the management of water-related disease. Tools developed in previous EU Projects will...

[PROJECT] SETTREND - Schistosoma Epigenetics - Targets, Regulation, New Drugs
ID: 241865
Start date: 2010-01-01, End date: 2012-12-31
We propose to develop novel drug leads for the therapy of the major human parasitic disease, schistosomiasis, using a holistic approach that will enable us to progress from the cloned target protein to the lead compound and from epigenetic inhibitors to crucial targets. For t...
