Consortium to develop novel in vitro predictive screening tools and in vivo translational models and biomarkers to improve adverse drug reaction (ADR) hazard identification. This project studies the metabolic effects of eight drugs (among which are paracetamol and diclofenac ) with known side effects in the liver. By looking into the mechanics on a level ranging from the molecule to the patient, the researchers in this project aim to find biomarkers and develop tools for the early prediction of side effects of drugs. One of the breakthroughs in the project is the discovery that a person''''s genetic profile appears to be one of the mechanics that have an influence on the resistance to adverse drug reactions. The ability to identify adverse effects in an early stage will prevent much discomfort in patients and economic loss. Several PhD theses have been written from this project.

Consortium that brings together Europe's top industrial and academic experts to develop new tests that will help researchers detect potential liver toxicity issues much earlier in drug development, saving many patients from the trauma of liver failure. The team aims to deepen the understanding of the science behind drug-induced liver injury, and use that knowledge to overcome the many drawbacks of the tests currently used. A major focus will be on a systematic and evidence-based evaluation of both currently available and new laboratory test systems, including cultures of liver cells in one-dimensional and three dimensional configurations. The project will also develop models that take into account the natural differences between patients. This is important because factors such as certain genes, the liver's immune response, and viral infections have all been associated with an increased risk of DILI. The project will seek to address the current lack of human liver cells available to researchers by using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from patients who are particularly sensitive to DILI. Another strand of the project will develop computer models to unravel the complex, often inter-related mechanisms behind DILI. Finally, the team will assess how accurate the results of laboratory tests are at predicting actual outcomes in patients.
