The HEARTOFSTROKE project, funded under H2020 and co-ordinated at UMC Utrecht, has an aim to understand the cause of stroke in every single patient. Looking at the “3Ps” (Pipes, Perfusion, Parenchyma). New research fields have been created based on innovative non-invasive arterial spin labelling perfusion MRI, perfusion reserve, perfusion territory and vessel wall MRI methods.…
The H2020 project Feed-a-Gene has been researching and developing new alternative feed resources and feed technologies for the past 3 years to better adapt different components of monogastric livestock production systems. Co-ordinated at INRA and with funding lasting until 2020 it will develop, amongst other things, biological models of livestock functioning to better understand and…
Now just past the half way point of the research the RETHRIM project, funded through H2020, has been further developing an academic infrastructure for the harmonized production of MSC (Mesenchymal stromal cells). The aim of the project was to conduct the first Europe-wide placebo controlled randomised phase III trial using MSC regenerative therapy for the…
Having completed nearly 3 years research and its final year on the horizon the H2020 project EUCLID has been looking at more sustainable pest management methods in order to reduce the negative effects of pesticides on human health and the environment. Its main goal is developing sustainable production approaches used in European and Chinese agriculture…
The UB-RASDisease project is being carried out at The Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB). Having been awarded an ERC consolidator grant, lasting approximately 5 years, it will look to find ways to defeat RAS-driven disease. By creating genetically modified mouse models and CRISPR-engineered human cell models they can assess the functional impact of the alterations…
