ID-DarkMatter-NCD Unraveling the dark matter of infectious diseases, environmental and genetic factors tipping the balance towards NCDs

Coordinator: MEDIZINISCHE UNIVERSITAET WIEN (AT)

While it is known that post-COVID-19-condition (PCC) is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, for most other immune-related noncommunicable diseases (IR-NCDs), no such infectious disease (ID) triggers have been identified (yet). Many IDs exist that could potentially cause IR-NCDs, however these microbes have large genomes encoding many antigens possibly associated with IR-NCDs. Given that it is challenging to measure all these 100,000s of structures in parallel, they represent the dark matter of ID-immune interactions.Furthermore, exposure to an ID alone typically does not trigger development of an…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €7.2M toward a total project budget of €7.2M — a funding rate of 100%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2024-01-01 to 2028-12-31.
