NAIMIT Novel immunotherapies for type 1 diabetes

Coordinator: KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN (BE)

This proposal will pioneer the concept of tailored interventions with minimal immune system interference in new onset T1DM, leading to beta-cell protection and restoration, based on a solid understanding of the disease pathogenesis. This will enable experimental findings to be adopted for future clinical application. Four work packages are grouped around ‘Reversal of autoimmunity’, in which two key players of the immune system in beta-cell destruction will be targeted: the dendritic cell (WP1: Re-educating antigen-presenting cells) and the T-lymphocyte (WP2: Restoring the T-cell balance).

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €10.9M toward a total project budget of €14.2M — a funding rate of 77%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2009-11-01 to 2015-04-30.
