The role of isomerisation of green leaf volatiles in fine-tuning tritrophic interactions (ISOSPIT)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Aug 5, 2016,
Plants continuously emit organic volatiles into the air, but upon herbivory the amounts increase dramatically. Emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles, i.e. especially of terpenoids, aromatic compounds and C-6 based ‘green leaf volatiles’ (GLVs), leads to the attraction of foraging natural enemies of herbivores and therefore is referred to as indirect plant defence. We recently found that th ...

A quantum leap: from a spike-centered brain universe to its underlying synaptic landscape (BRAINLEAP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
The richness of high-level cognitive and adaptive properties of the brain is reflected in the complexity of its anatomy and (electro)physiology. At the cellular level, evolution privileged for the central nervous system an analog distributed information storage and encoding, by plastic (graded) synapses and by their continuous temporal and spatial integration into firing rates. Beyond all-or-none ...

Exploring the neural coding in behaving animals by novel optogenetic, high-density microrecordings and computational approaches: Towards cognitive Brain-Computer Interfaces (ENLIGHTENMENT)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
In this project we aim to investigate the mechanisms involved in memory storage in the brain by a combination of advanced multisite, single unit neural activity monitoring, closed-loop patterned and cell specific activations, and computational techniques, that would allow developing ways to stimulate brain networks in an activity-driven fashion. Combining neuroscience, neuroengineering and computa ...

Exploiting Gram-negative cell division targets in the test tube to obtain anti-microbial compounds (DIVINOCELL)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
The DIVINOCELL project will identify novel Gram-negative targets by exploiting the components of the divisome, their activities and interactions. It will also design selective assays for screening and will obtain a new class of antimicrobials: compounds to block bacterial division. New medicines to attack Gram-negative pathogens will decrease the burden of infectious disease and have a highly ben ...

Pathogenomics and Systems Biology of Fungal Infections – An Integrative Approach (FINSysB)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
The vision of the FINSysB Network is to generate bright, ambitious and well-trained young researchers capable of contributing significantly to the knowledge-base and economy of the European Union. We will achieve this goal by providing a strong, multidisciplinary training for early stage and experienced researchers in the pathobiology, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and systems biolo ...
