[PROJECT] EURATRANS - European large-scale functional genomics in the rat for translational research
ID: 241504
Start date: 2010-04-01, End date: 2015-03-31
Genetic studies in model organisms and humans, including human genome-wide association studies, have pinpointed genomic regions that contribute susceptibility to common disease. However, to date, these data have provided limited insights into the genes, molecular pathways and...

[PROJECT] MODHEP - Systems biology of liver cancer: an integrative genomic-epigenomic approach
ID: 259743
Start date: 2011-01-01, End date: 2016-06-30
Cancer is a complex disease involving multiple genetic and epigenetic events occurring, and influencing each other, over a long period of time. Understanding cancer, and ultimately developing effective targeted therapies, will therefore require that mutations and epigenetic a...

[PROJECT] EUROSPIN - European Consortium on Synaptic Protein Networks in Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases
ID: 241498
Start date: 2010-01-01, End date: 2014-06-30
Signalling at nerve cell synapses - a key determinant of all aspects of brain function - depends on the function of hundreds of synaptic proteins and their interactions. Numerous recent studies showed that a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases are 'synapt...

[PROJECT] DOPAMINET - Molecular Networks of Dopaminergic Neurons in Chordates
ID: 223744
Start date: 2009-02-01, End date: 2012-07-31
Background. Parkinson Disease is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The selective degeneration of subsets of midbrain dopaminergic neurons is believed to be the primary cause for disruption of the ability to control movements. Objective. We propose...

[PROJECT] GLYCOHIT - Glycomics by High-throughput Integrated Technologies
ID: 260600
Start date: 2011-01-01, End date: 2014-06-30
Protein glycosylation is a post-translational phenomenon that is involved in most physiological and disease processes including cancer. Most of the known cancer-associated glycobiomarkers were discovered individually using liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Though v...

[PROJECT] NEURONANO - Do nanoparticles induce neurodegenerative diseases? Understanding the origin of reactive oxidative species and protein aggregation and mis-folding phenomena in the presence of nanoparticles
ID: 214547
Start date: 2009-02-01, End date: 2012-01-31
As the use of nanoparticles becomes more prevalent, it is clear that human exposure will inevitably increase. Considering the rapidly ageing European population and the resulting increase in the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, there is an urgent need to address the r...
