An international consortium to develop and assess novel approaches to identify and characterize biological markers for colon cancer that will deepen the understanding of the variable make-up of tumors and how this affects the way patients respond to treatment. They will use cutting edge laboratory-based genome sequencing techniques coupled to novel computer modelling approaches to study both the biological heterogeneity of colon cancers (i.e. patient to patient variability) as well as tumor variation within the patient for example, by comparing primary tumors with metastases. This five year project brings together top scientists from European academic institutions offering a wide range of expertise, and partners them with pharmaceutical companies. The project is based on the premise that this genetic and epigenetic information, combined with a description of the molecular pathology of the tumor, will allow OncoTrack to generate a more accurate in-silico model of the cancer cell. This will facilitate the identification of predictive markers that can be used to guide the optimal therapy strategy at the level of the individual patient - and will also provide on-going prognostic guidance for the clinician. This project will not only advance understanding of the fundamental biology of colon cancers but will provide the means and approach for the identification of previously undetected biomarkers not only in the cancer under study, but potentially also in other solid cancers and, in doing so, open the door for personalized management of the oncology patient.

Consortium to accelerate the search for new, more effective combinations of treatments to tackle Tuberculosis and address pre-clinical research barriers to the discovery and development of new TB drug combinations. To overcome the challenges in Tuberculosis drug development they will create tools to accelerate PK-PD (Pharmacokinetic / Pharmacodynamic) analysis that are connected to clinical outcomes. By addressing the gaps in preclinical information, the consortium aims to provide a framework and tools to facilitate the transition of the best combinations of drugs to late phase development. They aim to develop an integrated set of laboratory-based models that will provide much-needed data to indicate the most appropriate doses and combinations of drugs for patients. In addition, the project will generate a comprehensive database of patient data from previous and on-going clinical trials for use as a reference for evaluating the performance of combination anti-TB drug regimens in these newly developed laboratory models. Ultimately, they aim to enable researchers to be able to use the information generated by the novel models to design better clinical trials involving TB patients. The aims of the consortium: * To systematically evaluate two successive panels of representative anti-tuberculosis drugs (licensed and novel) using a suite of standard, novel and enhanced preclinical model systems, with respect to performance in clinical trials * To refine the set of preclinical systems on the basis of these results in order to identify and define the currently optimal critical path in discovery and pre-clinical development for tuberculosis. * To develop an integrated PK-PD / Disease modelling and simulation framework for tuberculosis which will facilitate prediction of optimal combinations and design of clinical studies.

Markup language for encoding raw spectrometer output. From 2005-2008 there has existed two separate XML formats for encoding raw spectrometer output: mzData developed by the PSI and mzXML developed at the Seattle Proteome Center at the Institute for Systems Biology. It was recognized that the existence of two separate formats for essentially the same thing generated confusion and required extra programming effort. Therefore the PSI, with full participation by ISB, has developed a new format by taking the best aspects of each of the precursor formats to form a single one. It is intended to replace the previous two formats. This new format was originally given a working name of dataXML. The final name is mzML.

Collaborative framework that includes the NIH Office of the Director and the 14 NIH Institutes and Centers that support research on the nervous system. By pooling resources and expertise, the Blueprint identifies cross-cutting areas of research, and confronts challenges too large for any single Institute or Center. The Blueprint makes collaboration a day-to-day part of how the NIH does business in neuroscience, complementing the basic missions of Blueprint partners. During each fiscal year, the partners contribute a small percentage of their funds to a common pool. Since the Blueprint's inception in 2004, this pool has comprised less than 1 percent of the total neuroscience research budget of the partners. In 2009, the Blueprint Grand Challenges were launched to catalyze research with the potential to transform our basic understanding of the brain and our approaches to treating brain disorders. * The Human Connectome Project is an effort to map the connections within the healthy brain. It is expected to help answer questions about how genes influence brain connectivity, and how this in turn relates to mood, personality and behavior. The investigators will collect brain imaging data, plus genetic and behavioral data from 1,200 adults. They are working to optimize brain imaging techniques to see the brain's wiring in unprecedented detail. * The Grand Challenge on Pain supports research to understand the changes in the nervous system that cause acute, temporary pain to become chronic. The initiative is supporting multi-investigator projects to partner researchers in the pain field with researchers in the neuroplasticity field. * The Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network is helping small labs develop new drugs for nervous system disorders. The Network provides research funding, plus access to millions of dollars worth of services and expertise to assist in every step of the drug development process, from laboratory studies to preparation for clinical trials. Project teams across the U.S. have received funding to pursue drugs for conditions from vision loss to neurodegenerative disease to depression. Since its inception in 2004, the Blueprint has supported the development of new resources, tools and opportunities for neuroscientists. For example, the Blueprint supports several training programs to help students pursue interdisciplinary areas of neuroscience, and to bring students from underrepresented groups into the neurosciences. The Blueprint also funds efforts to develop new approaches to teaching neuroscience through K-12 instruction, museum exhibits and web-based platforms. From fiscal years 2007 to 2009, the Blueprint focused on three major themes of neuroscience - neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment, and neuroplasticity. These efforts enabled unique funding opportunities and training programs, and helped establish new resources including the Blueprint Non-Human Primate Brain Atlas.

Consortium to develop evidence supporting the use of imaging Total Kidney Volume (TKV) as a prognostic biomarker that predicts the progression of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) to select patients likely to respond to therapy into clinical trials. It aims to replace the currently used measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Scientists will use the data collected to develop a disease progression model that will evaluate the relationship between TKV and the known complications of ADPKD, including rate of loss of kidney function, hypertension, gross hematuria, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, development of end-stage renal disease, and mortality. These analyses will be used to support the regulatory qualification of TKV as an accepted measure for assessing the progression of ADPKD in clinical trials in which new therapies are tested. PKDOC has the following goals: # Develop standard clinical data elements and definitions that are specific to ADPKD # Create a database of aggregated data from existing multiple, longitudinal, and well-characterized research registries maintained over decades by the leading institutions in ADPKD clinical investigation # Advance and harmonize the missions of regulatory agencies by creating tools that help with the evaluation of new pharmaceutical compounds # Develop a quantitative disease progression model to examine the linkage between TKV and disease outcomes

Consortium focused on developing computer and physical models of the airway system for patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Developing accurate models will better predict how asthma and COPD develop, since current methods can only assess the severity of disease. They aim to bridge the gaps in clinical management of airways-based disease by providing reliable models that predict disease progression and the response to treatment for each person with asthma or COPD. A data management platform provides a secure and sustainable infrastructure that semantically integrates the clinical, physiological, genetic, and experimental data produced with existing biomedical knowledge from allied consortia and public databases. This resource will be available for analysis and modeling, and will facilitate sharing, collaboration and publication within AirPROM and with the broader community. Currently the AirPROM knowledge portal is only accessible by AirPROM partners.

Consortium focused on identifying the foundational pathways responsible for the aging of the brain, with a focus on Late Onset Alzheimer's disease. They aim to identify the interactions through which the aging phenotype develops in normal and in disease conditions; modeling novel pathways and their evolutionary properties to design experiments that identify druggable targets. As early steps of neurodegenerative disorders are expected to impact synapse function the project will focus in particular on pre- or postsynaptic protein networks. The concept is to identify subsets of pathways with two unique druggable hallmarks, the validation of interactions occurring locally in subregions of neurons and a human and/or primate accelerated evolutionary signature. The consortium will do this through six approaches: * identification of interacting protein networks from recent Late-Onset Alzheimer Disease-Genome Wide Association Studies (LOAD-GWAS) data, * experimental validation of interconnected networks working in subregion of a neuron (such as dendrites and dendritic spines), * inclusion of these experimentally validated networks in larger networks obtained from available databases to extend possible protein interactions, * identification of human and/or primate positive selection either in coding or in regulatory gene sequences, * manipulation of these human and/or primate accelerated evolutionary interacting proteins in human neurons derived from induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) * modeling predictions in drosophila and novel mouse transgenic models * validation of new druggable targets and markers as a proof-of-concept towards the prevention and cure of aging cognitive defects. The scientists will share results and know-how on Late-Onset Alzheimer Disease-Genome Wide Association Studies (LOAD-GWAS) gene discovery, comparative functional genomics in mouse and drosophila models, in mouse transgenic approaches, research on human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) and their differentiation in vitro and modeling pathways with emphasis on comparative and evolutionary aspects. The four European small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) involved will bring their complementary expertise and will ensure translation of project results to clinical application.
