[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] MYCOMANCY - Transcriptional regulation and cellular localization of mycobacterial cell cycle proteins during dormancy
ID: 37566
Start date: 2006-11-01, End date: 2009-04-30
In this project we propose to study the relation between the cell cycle and dormancy development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).
The final aim is to increase the knowledge on dormancy development and to identify potential candidates for the development of antitubercular...

[PROJECT] BIOEXPLOIT - Exploitation of natural plant biodiversity for the pesticide-free production of food
ID: 513959
Start date: 2005-10-01, End date: 2011-03-31
The aim of this project is to force a break-through in breeding for resistance to fungal pathogens using genomicsand post-genomics tools to exploit natural host plant resistance. Two strategies will be followed to design newresistant varieties: i) marker-a ssisted breeding and...

To investigate the ways in which pathogenic mycobacteria are able to regulate their growth and survive within an infected host by:
* Analysing the expression of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes when mycobacteria are grown under a variety of conditions, including in host tissue.
* S...
