Horizon 2020
Work Packages
Work Package 2 - Preconception and transgenerational risk factors
Work Package 3 - Lung function growth and submaximal lung function attainment in children
Work Package 4 - Lung function decline
Work Package 5 - Change in DNA methylation and lung function
Work Package 6 - Integration and translation
Work Package 7 - Dissemination
ALEC is led by Professor Debbie Jarvis, from the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College, London.
To deliver this work stream, ALEC has 7 work packages, one workpackage related to study management, and one workpackage related to dissemination. Three work packages are for risk factor identification each concentrating on a particular phase of life – pre-conception and transgenerational, childhood and adulthood. One workpackage, will be responsible for generation of new data from two cohorts (ECRHS and SAPALDIA) on change in DNA methylation (DNAm), and for overall and targetted analyses on changes in DNAm with age, disease evolution, and exposures to specific risk factors from all cohorts. One workpackage is responsible for ‘Integration and Translation’ of findings into a predictive risk score for COPD.
