Role
Participant
Year
2018

DISH. The Erasmus + DISH Project aims to connect the progressive digitalization of the healthcare sector and the lack of innovation skills among health and social professionals to fully benefit from the use of innovative eHealth products and solutions. DISH Project aims to strengthening the digital skills of health and social staff regarding development, use and implementation of digital solutions in everyday practice. It will bring knowledge and competencies to the health and social care staff enabling them to implement eHealth solutions supported by national digitalization strategies. The objective is, therefore, to look into present and future skills' needs and developer, test and present different concepts which will support health and care workforce to better cope with digital transformation of the health and social care sector.

INADVANCE The project Patient-centred pathways of early palliative care, supportive ecosystems and appraisal standard (INADVANCE) proposes a novel model of PC based on early integration and personalized pathways addressed specifically to older people with complex chronic conditions. Thus, the overall aim of INADVANCE is to improve the benefit of PC through the design of effective, replicable and cost-effective early PC interventions centred-on and oriented-by the patients. Interventions are defined for/orientated on patients, families, informal caregivers, and front-line care professionals.

PRIMAGE PRedictive In-silico Multiscale Analytics to support cancer personalized diaGnosis and prognosis, Empowered by imaging biomarkers.

Investigador principal
Dr. Luis Martí-Bonmatí
Role
Coordinator
Year
2018

PRIMAGE proposes a cloud-based platform to support decision making in the clinical management of malignant solid tumours, offering predictive tools to assist diagnosis, prognosis, therapies choice and treatment follow up, based on the use of novel imaging biomarkers, in-silico tumour growth simulation, advanced visualisation of predictions with weighted confidence scores and machine-learning based translation of this knowledge into predictors for the most relevant, disease-specific, Clinical End Points.

NUTRISHIELD NUTRISHIELD: Fact-based personalised nutrition for the young

Call
H2020-SFS-2018-1
Investigador principal
Julia Kuligowski
Role
Participant
Year
2018

NUTRISHIELD aims at creating a personalised platform for the young. The platform will consist of novel methods &  techniques, which analyse a wide range of biomarkers related to nutrition and health disorders. Based on findings, the platform then uses ICT, by expanding existing nutrition assistive mobile apps, in order to provide feedback and steering people towards a better nutrition. This takes into account the way each person responds to different nutrients and food types, by also analysing phenotype, genome expression, microbiome composition, health condition, mental & psychological condition, as well as financial capabilities for procuring food.

iPLACENTA Innovation in modelling Placenta for Maternal and Fetal Health

Call
H2020-MSCA-ITN-2017
Investigador principal
Dr. José Morales, IIS La Fe
Role
Participant
Year
2017

iPLACENTA is a European Training Network (ETN), and will act as a springboard for promoting international, intersectoral and multi/inter-disciplinary training, career development and collaboration of fifteen early-stage researchers (ESRs) in Maternal and Fetal Health. iPLACENTA will improve our ability to study, model and visualize the placenta. iPLACENTA focuses on doctoral-level training and will be delivered by eleven participating universities located in ten different European countries. It coordinates research and training collaboration among world-leading academic institutions in Europe, providing a new combination of in-depth international expertise. 

OActive Advanced personalised, multi-scale computer models preventing OsteoArthritis

Call
H2020-SC1-2016-2017
Investigador principal
Dr. Enrique Viosca
Role
Participant
Year
2017

The OACTIVE scientific and technological objectives focus on the development of patient-specific computer models and simulation in order to develop appropriate OA prevention interventions or treatments. The main focus of the OACTIVE will be on knee OA (KOA) because this is the joint where OA symptoms most frequently cause significant loss of function and mobility.

Immunometabolomics CD8+ T cell metabolism in anti-tumor response.

Call
H2020-MSCA-IF-2016.
Investigador principal
Dr. Agustin Lahoz, Dr. Juan Carlos García Cañaveras
Role
Individual
Year
2017

The main objective of the Immunometabolomics project is to understand metabolism in CD8+ T cells, during active effector T cell development and exhaustion, using approaches that go beyond current research which have been mostly focused on glucose/energy metabolism thus disregarding the relevance of anabolic and redox reactions that are crucial in correct cellular function and proliferation.

CrowdHEALTH CrowdHEALTH: Collective wisdom driving public health policies

Call
H2020-SC1-2016-CNECT.
Investigador principal
Dr. Bernardo Valdivieso
Role
Participant
Year
2017

CrowdHEALTH will introduce a new paradigm of Holistic Health Records (HHRs) that include all health determinants. HHRs will be transformed into Social HHRs communities capturing the clinical, social and human context of the population segmentation and as a result the collective knowledge for different factors depending on the communities formulation criteria (e.g. demographics, diseases, lifestyle choices, nutrition, etc).

Role
Co-Chair
Year
2016

HARMONY is a European Network of Excellence that captures, integrates, analyzes and harmonizes Big Data from high-quality multidisciplinary sources for the purpose of acquiring valuable knowledge across the spectrum of hematologic malignancies (HMs). HARMONY will focus on HM disease areas with a high unmet need: multiple myeloma (MM), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and pediatric HMs.

Cardio-respiratory responses in dolphins Cardiorespiratory physiology in the bottlenose dolphin before, during, and after breath-holding and restraint.

Call
Office of Naval Research Contracts&Grants 2015.
Investigador principal
Dr. Andreas Fahlman
Role
Individual
Year
2016

The proposed work is intended to evaluate cardiorespiratory (heart rate, stroke volume, systemic and pulmoarterial pressures, respiratory flow and expired gas composition) function in a small cetacean, the bottlenose dolphin, at rest, during apnea, during recovery from apnea and during and following a stressful situation. In addition, we will use these data to extract medical biomarkers from animals that are adapted to a range of extreme physiological challenges (e.g. hypoxia, ischemia/reperfusion, atelectasis). These biomarkers may provide valuable information for human clinical medicine.
