Project number: 613977

Duration of the project:  November 2013-October 2017

Leading Institution: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK – NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, CORK Address

Description of the project:

ODIN project provided the evidence to prevent vitamin D deficiency in Europe and improve nutrition and public health through food. By establishing an internationally standardized analytical platform for 25OHD, ODIN measured the distribution of circulating 25OHD and describe the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Europe. Using available biobanks and databases from National nutrition surveys ODIN delineated the relative contributions of sun and dietary sources of vitamin D to circulating 25OHD. In support of vitamin D recommendations, ODIN carried out three RCT in pregnant women, children and teenagers and a fourth RCT in ethnic immigrant groups to provide experimental data to specify vitamin D intake requirements.

Low cost technologies and traditional ingredients for the production of affordable, nutritionally correct foods improving health in population groups at risk of poverty

Project leader : Dr. Marija Glibetic, coordinator for the IMI team

Project collaborators:

Romana Novaković, Danijela Ristić-Medić, Morjana Gurinović, Marija Glibetić, Jelena Milešević, Nevena Kardum

Project number:  266331

Duration of the project: February 2011-July 2014.

Leading Institution: ALMA MATER STUDIORUM – UNIVERSITA DI BOLOGNA

Description of the project:

CHANCE project defined an innovative strategy based on a socio-economic study of the composition of the most significant EU populations at-risk-of-poverty and verified the relative existing nutritional deficiency via a holistic approach ensured by metabolomics investigations correlating the non-healthy diet to real metabolism alterations. CHANCE adopted a new multidisciplinary approach, leading to nutritional strategies for the prevention of malnutrition in population groups at risk of poverty. CHANCE aimed at considered a new health value-added diet as a whole by developing food products which could act in concert. The synergic collaboration of nutritionists, food chemists, economists and technologists allowed a robust strategy to by pass all barriers to healthy nutrition by the lab-scale development of affordable but nutritionally-rich food products, new packaging and portioning.

The EuroFIR Food Platform: Further integration, refinement and exploitation for its long-term self-sustainability

Project leader: dr Marija Glibetić

Project collaborators:

Marija Glibetić, Mirjana Gurinović, Jelena Milešević, Jasmina Martačić-Debeljak, Marija Takić

Project number:  265967

Duration of the project: april 2011- mart 2013

Leading Institution: QUADRAM INSTITUTE BIOSCIENCE United Kingdom

Description of the project:

The objective of this project was to further integrate/refine the EuroFIR Food Platform, to improve/support the ways research is undertaken into relationships between food, diets and health in Europe. The focus was on extending application and exploitation of validated food data and tools for pan-European nutrition studies and networked usage, implementation of standards and best practice. This together forms the basis of long-term sustainability through the newly established legal entity EuroFIR AISBL.

Importance of wild canids as hosts and reservoirs for ticks and tick-borne pathogens in Austria and Serbia

Project leader : Dr Snežana Tomanović and Dr Georg Duscher

Project collaborators:

Dr Snežana Tomanović, Dr Darko Mihaljica i Dr Ratko Sukara

Project number:

Duration of the project: 2016-2017

Leading Institution:

Institute for Medical Research, University of Belgrade

Description of the project:

Identification of ticks and tick-borne diseases, as a growing problem in last decades, coincides with the increase of anthropogenic influence on biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems. As a result of direct and indirect anthropogenic impact, the migration of these pathogens to new areas is enabled. Wild canids are important hosts of ixodid ticks and recently they have been recognized as potential reservoirs of several tick-borne pathogens of zoonotic and domestic animals importance. The species like red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and golden jackals (Canis aureus) also represent an important source of infections for domestic animals and humans, mostly due to their close proximity to human settlements and frequent exposure to different vector species. Currently, these populations are both still rapidly growing in urban areas and spreading their ranges toward Central and Eastern Europe increasing the risk of human and animal exposure to pathogens. However, many aspects of the epidemiology of tick-borne diseases in wild canids, such as host range, tick range and their geographical distribution are still poorly understood.

Toxoplasmosis in HSC transplant recipients: how to improve prevention at a reasonable cost?

Project leader : from the Serbian side: Dr. Olgica Đurković-Đaković, from the French side: Prof. Florence Robert-Gangneux

Duration of the project: January 2018 – December 2019

Leading Institution:

Description of the project:

Diagnosis and monitoring of reactivated toxoplasmosis (RT) in HSCT recipients was introduced into the transplantation practice in Serbia in 2013 (cooperation of the Mother and Child Health Care Institute and the NRL for toxoplasmosis). Despite its many benefits, clinical experience with this approach to control T. gondii infection in HSCT patients has also revealed gaps including diagnostic challenges pertinent for decisions on treatment, and lack of consensus on the frequency and duration of blood sample monitoring by qPCR after HSCT, respective of clinical setting and administration of prophylaxis. Thus, the goal of the proposed project is to, after standardization and harmonization of the qPCR protocol in both partner laboratories, identify subgroups of patients (according to the clinical setting, type of prophylaxis etc.) at the highest risk of RT, that would benefit the most from systematic PCR monitoring, with the final outcome to devise a cost-effective alternative for the prevention of RT after HSCT.
