[PROJECT] OPTIMUNISE - Optimising the impact and cost-effectiveness of child health intervention programmes of vaccines and micronutrients in low-income countries
ID: 261375
Start date: 2011-03-01, End date: 2016-08-31
International child health programmes in low-income countries are justified in term of their impact on child survival. However, the effect estimates are usually calculated from performance indicators and assumptions about efficacy based on small-scale target-specific studies....

[PROJECT] EUROCANPLATFORM - A European Platform for Translational Cancer Research
ID: 260791
Start date: 2011-01-01, End date: 2016-12-31
Europe has a number of advantages as regards developing translational cancer research, yet there is no clear European strategy to meet the increasing burden posed by cancer. The FP6 Eurocan+Plus project analysed the barriers underlying the increasing fragmentation of cancer r...

[PROJECT] RATHER - Rational Therapy for Breast Cancer: Individualized Treatment for Difficult-to-Treat Breast Cancer Subtypes
ID: 258967
Start date: 2011-01-01, End date: 2018-06-30
Cancer genotyping has identified a number of correlations between mutations in specific genes and responses to targeted anti-cancer drugs, with many mutations occurring in kinases or downstream signaling components. While there are several ongoing large-scale genome re-sequen...

[PROJECT] PLANTIMMUSYS - The Plant Immune System: a multidisciplinary approach to uncover how plants simultaneously deal with beneficial and parasitic organisms to maximize profits and protection
ID: 269072
Start date: 2011-03-01, End date: 2017-02-28
In nature, plants live in complex environments in which they are attacked by a multitude of pathogens and pests. In agriculture this leads to tremendous annual crop losses, representing a value of over 450 billion worldwide. Beneficial associations between plants and other or...

[PROJECT] GLYCOTREAT - Novel vaccine generation for the treatment of cancer. A glyco-nanomedial approach instructing T cells
ID: 339977
Start date: 2014-02-01, End date: 2019-01-31
There is an urgent need to develop vaccines for the induction of CD8+ T-cell immunity to treat cancer and infectious diseases. Dendritic Cells (DC) have shown potential to induce antigen specific CD8+ T-cell responses with the help of CD4+ T cells, yet the efficacy by which t...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Periodic Report Summary 2 - GLYCOTREAT (Novel vaccine generation for the treatment of cancer. A glyco-nanomedial approach instructing T cells)
The Glycotreat project aims to develop new glycan based nanomedicines to target to DC for the induction of powerful T-cell responses to treat cancer. In this project we focus on two types of cancer: one induced by viruses, and the other with a focus on self-antigen melanoma...

[PROJECT] NON-DSB LESIONS - Radiation specific DNA non-double strand break lesions: repair mechanisms and biological effects
ID: FIGH-CT-2002-00207
Start date: 2003-01-01, End date: 2004-12-31
Ionising radiation induces a plethora of DNA non-double strand break lesions such as oxidised bases, a basic sites and single strand breaks. Strong evidence exists that ionising radiation induces, besides isolated DNA lesions; a unique form o f DNA damage termed clustered dama...

[PROJECT] GEMRATE - Genetic factors predisposing to radiation induction of mutation during early gestation: the role of DNA repair and cell cycle control
ID: FIGH-CT-2002-00210
Start date: 2002-11-01, End date: 2005-10-31
Recent reports in the mouse indicate considerable radiation sensitivity of particularly the early zygote and the post implantation gastrula stages. Data on the chromatin stability of human sperm and chromosome stability of pre implantation embryos point at the genetic vulnerab...

[PROJECT] SMOPIE - Strategies and methods for optimisation of internal exposures of workers from industrial natural sources
ID: FIGM-CT-2001-00176
Start date: 2001-11-01, End date: 2003-10-31
Radiation protection of workers requires optimisation to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). This requirement applies to external and internal radiation exposures. However, relatively few efforts have been directly devoted to implementing the ALARA...
