MyCyFAPP aims at the self-management of enzyme replacement in the european cystic fibrosis patients by means of a mobile application (APP) that allows for a personalised and accurate control and monitoring of the disease thanks to interaction between health professionals and patients.
JPI ENPADASI The European Nutrition Phenotype Assessment and Data Sharing Initiative.
- Call
- Joint Programming Initiative a Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life (JPI HDHL) 2014
- Investigador principal
- Dr. Juan Francisco Merino Torres
- Role
- Participant
The main objective is to deliver an open access research infrastructure that will contain data from a wide variety of nutritional studies, ranging from mechanistic/interventions to epidemiological studies including a multitude of phenotypic outcomes that will facilitate combined analyses in the future.
Fast Metabolomic assessment of donor liver quality prior to transplant
- Call
- The Roche Organ Transplantation Research Foundation (ROTRF)
- Investigador principal
- Dr. Agustín Lahoz
- Role
- Individual
- Year
- 2014
This project aims to use metabolomic profiles of human livers used for orthotopic transplantation in order to make a quick study of donors before transplantation, evaluating and analysing the adequacy between donor and recipient.
EIP-AHA European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing-Reference sites.
- Call
- EIP-AHA.
- Investigador principal
- Dr Bernardo Valdivieso Martínez
- Role
- Participant
This guide aims to inform European regions (reference sites) with innovation for active and healthy ageing in real life.
ExPO-r-NeT European Expert Paediatric Oncology Reference Network for Diagnostics and Treatment.
- Call
- DG SANCO 4.2.2.7. Pilot networks of cooperation under Directive 2011/24/EU (a pilot network of cooperation between paediatric oncology centres).
- Investigador principal
- Dr. Adela Cañete Nieto
- Role
- Participant
ExPO-r-Net is a 3-year project that will build a European Reference Network (ERN) for Paediatric Oncology. The project aims to reduce the current inequalities in childhood cancer survival and healthcare capabilities in different EU Member States.
BeyondSilos Learning from integrated eCare practice and promoting deployment in European Regions.
- Call
- Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). CIP-ICT-PSP.2013.3.1b.
- Investigador principal
- Dr. Bernardo Valdivieso Martínez
- Role
- Participant
BeyondSilos is an EU co-funded pilot project that allows providers in seven European regions to implement and pilot integrated social and health care services. A key role in the services will be played by different ICT tools (from home health monitoring to shared data records) that will be utilised to enable better cooperation between care professionals, family members and those receiving care. .
HeCaToS Hepatic and Cardiac Toxicity Sustems Modelling.
- Call
- EU 7th Framework Programme (HEALTH-F4-2013-602156).
- Investigador principal
- Dr. José Vicente Castell Ripoll
- Role
- Participant
The HeCaToS project aims at developing integrative in silico tools for predicting human liver and heart toxicity. The objective is to develop an integrated modeling framework, by combining advances in computational chemistry and systems toxicology, for modelling toxic perturbations in liver and heart across multiple scales.
Mechaggrenamics Mechanisms of cell dysfunction by aggregation dynamics of polyQ-containing proteins.
- Call
- EU FP7-PEOPLE-2012-CIG - Marie-Curie Action: "Career Integration Grants".
- Investigador principal
- Dr. Rafael Vázquez Manrique
- Role
- Individual
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of several ageing-related neurodegenerative diseases. Different cellular pathways influence the rate of aggregation, and clearance of intermediate protein species and aggregates in the cell. The broad objective of this proposal is to find molecules that modulate protein aggregation. The second objective is to understand the mechanism by which mHtt toxic species alter cellular processes.
RENEB Realizing the European network of Biodosimetry
- Call
- Coordination Action (CSA-CA) within the 7th EU framework EURATOM Fission Programme.
- Investigador principal
- Dr. Alegría Montoro Pastor
- Role
- Participant
The goal of RENEB is to establish sustainable European network in biological dosimetry involving laboratories and organisations from 16 countries that can support in a coordinated way the response in case of major nuclear or radiological emergency in Europe.is a collaborative European project aiming at developing innovative tools for personalised cell therapy for the treatment of metabolic liver diseases.
