Dynamics of Inequality Across the Life-Course: structures and processes (DIAL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2021,

Existing and rising inequalities pose fundamental challenges to European societies and economies. Large disparities in human and social capacities are counterproductive to a sustainable and creative economy and participatory governance and inclusion. The increasing gulf between rich and poor, exacerbated by the recent financial and economic crises, is a key concern. The sources of inequalities in ...

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Analysing the link between reproduction and women’s social status, this project explores social responses to pregnancy, birth and childrearing from the late Neolithic to the late Iron Age (c.3000-15 BC) through case studies in central Europe. Motherhood and childrearing, often seen as natural, mundane and inevitable parts of women’s lives, are also cultural and historically contingent practices th ...

Transmission of Classical Scientific and Philosophical Literature from Greek into Syriac and Arabic (HUNAYNNET)

Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2021,

It is often taken for granted that the Greek-Arabic translation movement (8th-10th c.) that made the whole bulk of Classical Greek scientific and philosophical literature available in Arabic (and that was later handed over to Europe in Latin translations) owes much to the preceding period in the history of transmission of this scientific and philosophical literature, namely translations into the S ...

Single-cell epigenomics: quantifying epigenetic changes in individual cells using DamID (EpiID)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Phenotypic variation arises from the heritable acquisition of cell-type specific gene-expression programs. Key in understanding cellular specification is to elucidate the epigenetic mechanism that underlies transcriptional heterogeneity. Thus a central question in biology is how cell-to-cell variability in the epigenome contributes to the emergence of phenotypic differences. However, current tech ...

Single molecule observation and manipulation of gene expression dynamics to dissect mechanisms of cell cycle entry (RNAREG)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Gene expression is a highly dynamic and inherently variable process. Yet, it needs to be tightly regulated, especially during the cell cycle, when continuous large-scale changes occur to the proteome. Even small deviations in the expression levels of a single protein in individual cells can de-regulate cell cycle entry and promote tumorigenesis. Here, I will develop new technology to study gene ex ...

Fuel and chemicals from lignin through enzymatic and chemical conversion (FALCON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

The transition to a biobased economy puts strong challenges on researchers and industry to develop sustainable processes. 2G biofuel plants use waste streams as substrates, but themselves generate a new waste stream of lignin-rich sludge that is left after saccharification of the carbohydrates. This waste stream is expected to exponentially increase with an increasing number of 2G bioethanol plant ...

Environmental perturbations to lakes and reservoirs occur largely as episodic climatic events. These range from relatively short mixing events to storms and heat waves. While the driving events occur along a continuum of frequency and magnitude, however, their effect is generally longer lasting than the events themselves. In addition, the more extreme weather events are now becoming increasingly ...

Dissecting microbiome and immune interactions in human intestinal (cancer) organoids (Organoid)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2020,

We pioneered the essential role of Wnt signals in adult stem cells, i.e. in intestinal crypts. We also found that loss of the APC gene activates the Wnt pathway and causes colorectal cancer (CRC). We then identified a Wnt target gene, Lgr5, which allowed us to define the crypt stem cells. In a previous ERC grant based on these findings, we identified novel Lgr5 stem cells in multiple organs, and d ...
