Description du projet
Une thérapie personnalisée pour les acouphènes
Les acouphènes sont caractérisés par des sons d’origine interne plutôt qu’externe. Ce symptôme peut être attribué à différents facteurs, notamment une perte d’audition, un trouble de l’articulation temporo-mandibulaire, des infections de l’oreille, des blessures ou des problèmes du système circulatoire. Les acouphènes touchent environ 42 millions de personnes en Europe, et ce nombre ne cesse d’augmenter et est responsable d’une diminution de la qualité de vie. Cependant, malgré sa prévalence, l’acouphène demeure un problème trop peu étudié. Financé par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet ESIT va permettre de développer des thérapies personnalisées. Il créera pour ce faire un ensemble de données paneuropéennes et encouragera la collaboration entre des partenaires de premier plan issus du monde universitaire, de la recherche clinique et de l’industrie. ESIT établira de nouvelles compétences par le biais d’un programme de formation international, dotant les participants de l’expertise requise pour un traitement efficace des acouphènes.
Objectif
The European School for interdisciplinary tinnitus research (ESIT) provides an opportunity for young researchers to work on leading-edge research projects, which will radically improve the situation of 42 million European tinnitus patients. They will develop new treatment solutions for tinnitus, fundamentally improve existing treatment paradigms, implement innovative research methods, perform the first genetic studies on tinnitus and establish the largest pan-European tinnitus dataset, which will allow the implementation of innovative solutions for personalized tinnitus treatment. High quality network-wide training will prepare the individual researchers with outstanding academic as well as personal skills to perform these tasks.
The international training programme offered by the ESIT network extends far beyond the doctoral training that can be offered by single universities. A distinctive feature of ESIT is therefore the tight integration of academic, clinical, and industrial partners together with patient organisations and public health authorities. Fellows will be trained by leading specialists from multiple domains and become familiar with the various work environments in the European health sector. The strong intersectoral and interdisciplinary training provides them with all relevant skills and experiences to excel internationally, to recognise their full potential and to take mature career decisions. ESIT will thereby build up a future generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative researchers for the European Research Area, trained to master the upcoming challenges in the field, to implement sustained changes in the clinical management of tinnitus, and to shape PhD education programmes for forthcoming students.
