Descrizione del progetto
Una terapia personalizzata per l’acufene
L’acufene è caratterizzato da suoni che hanno origine internamente piuttosto che da fonti esterne. Questo sintomo può essere attribuito a vari fattori, fra cui perdita dell’udito, disturbi dell’articolazione temporo-mandibolare, infezioni dell’orecchio, lesioni o problemi al sistema circolatorio. L’acufene colpisce circa 42 milioni di persone in Europa e questo numero è in continuo aumento, con conseguente diminuzione della qualità della vita. Tuttavia, nonostante la sua prevalenza, l’acufene è un problema non ancora adeguatamente studiato. Il progetto ESIT, finanziato dal programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, consentirà lo sviluppo di terapie personalizzate creando un set di dati paneuropeo e promuovendo la collaborazione fra i principali partner del mondo accademico, della ricerca clinica e dell’industria. ESIT fornirà nuove competenze attraverso un programma di formazione internazionale, dotando i partecipanti delle competenze necessarie per una cura efficace dell’acufene.
Obiettivo
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.
