Projects in Health

Project Code: CHAGASEPINE
Comparative epidemiology of genetic lineages of Trypanosoma cruzi.
The focus of this multidisciplinary proposal is to elucidate the epidemiology of the genetic lineages of T. cruzi, for improved understanding and prevention of Chagas disease.



Project Code: CONTENT
Evaluation and Control of Neglected Mucosal Enteric Infections in Childhood.
The proposal aims to provide new knowledge and technologies to improve control of neglected enteric pathogens in economically disadvantaged regions in Latin America.



Project Code: DIVINOCELL
Exploiting Gram-negative cell division targets in the test tube to obtain anti-microbial compound.
The DIVINOCELL project will identify novel Gram-negative targets by exploiting the components of the divisome, their activities and interactions.



Project Code: EDCBNL
Evolution and Development of Cognitive, Behavioural and Neural Lateralization.
The study of brain asymmetries, that were once believed to be a typically human trait subserving linguistic functions and handedness, has recently undergone a dramatic transformation.



Project Code: ELAN2LIFE
Europe-Latin America Network for boosting international cooperation in the field of Life Sciences.
To stimulate and enhance international cooperation in the field of Life Sciences & Health between Europe and LA&C countries by creating in this region a network of information nodes able to carry out coherent system.



Project Code: SAVINMUCOPA
Novel Therapeutic and Prophylactic Strategies to Control Mucosal Infections by South American bacterial Strains.
Enteric and respiratory diseases remain a major cause of mortality during neonate life and childhood within developing countries.



Project Code: SUPPORT
The Support Collaboration: Supporting Policy Relevant Reviews and Trials.
Policymakers do not want to ignore research evidence when making policy but they often do. The goal of SUPPORT is to make this less likely for policy related to maternal and child health.



Project Code: TRANS-BIG
Translating Molecular Knowledge into Early Breast Cancer Management: Building on the BIG (Breast International Group) Network for Improved Treatment Tailoring.
A revolution in breast cancer care is likely as we move from empirical towards molecular oncology. For Europe to lead this revolution, the Breast International Group is planning a “sister” network of excellence.

 

Project Code: USDEP
Capture and Enrichment of Emerging Pathogens for Multiple and Ultra-Sensitive Diagnostic.
In the 1970’s WHO proclaimed that eradication of smallpox should be attempted. This goal has been achieved 1979. There is now consensus that list of newly emerging or re-emerging pathogens is continuously growing.
