The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Airway Disease PRedicting Outcomes through Patient Specific Computational Modelling (AirPROM)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The airways diseases asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affect over 400 million people world-wide and cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Airways disease costs the European Union in excess of €56 billion per annum. Current therapies are inadequate and we do not have sufficient tools to predict disease progression or response to current or future therapies. Our consortium, Air ...

Developing single cell technologies for systems biology (ISOLATE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Biological cells are entities with highly complex, non-linear control circuits. They can thus express intricate behavior, such as stochasticity-induced multistability, oscillations, responses at different time scales, hysteretic behavior, memory, etc. Biology is only about to start to investigate these phenomena, which all occur at single cell level and often result in phenotypic heterogeneity. I ...

Novel catalyst materials for the cathode side of MEAs suitable for transportation applications (CATHCAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Novel low temperature fuel cell (FC) cathode catalyst and support systems will be designed and synthesized. The focus will be on highly active catalyst materials for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) for transportation applications.These materials will be fully characterized, benchmarked and validated with a multi-scale bottom up approach in order to significantly reduce the amount o ...

Protein Binders for Characterisation of Human Proteome Function: Generation, Validation, Application (AFFINOMICS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

The Affinomics programme aims to leverage existing efforts in Europe to generate large-scale resources of validated protein-binding molecules (‘binders’) as affinity reagents for characterisation of the human proteome and to apply them in comprehensive structural and functional analyses of protein expression, interactions and complexes. Proteome targets will be focused on five categories of inter- ...

Adaptation of a generic wind tunnel model for attachment line transition measurements (CleanSky-LBD)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The Hybrid Laminar Flow Technology for drag reduction needs small holes for boundary layer suction. This proposal addresses the perforation and integration of inserts for flow tunnel tests. Therefore, an approved laser process at BIAS for drilling suction holes for flow meters shall be transferred to an adequate system technology for large inserts using a short pulsed fibre laser with high power a ...

Symbiotic Evolutionary Robot Organisms (SYMBRION)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

The main focus of this project is to investigate and develop novel principles of adaptation and evolution for symbiotic multi-robot organisms based on bio-inspired approaches and modern computing paradigms. Such robot organisms will consist of super-large-scale swarms of robots, which can dock with each other and symbiotically share energy and computational resources within a single artificial-lif ...

Quantifying Weather and Climate Impacts on Health in Developing Countries (QWeCI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

One of the most dramatic and immediate impacts of climate variation is that on disease, especially the vector-borne diseases that disproportionally affect the poorest people in Africa. Although we can clearly see that, for example, an El Nino event triggers Rift Valley Fever epidemics, we remain poor at understanding why particular areas are vulnerable and how this will change in coming decades, s ...
