The evolution of the human hand: grasping trees and tools (GRASP)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
The unique manipulative abilities of the human hand have fascinated scientists since the time of Darwin. However, we know little about how these unique abilities evolved because we have lacked, (1) the necessary fossil human (hominin) evidence and (2) the appropriate methods to investigate if, when and how our early ancestors used their hands for locomotion (climbing) and manipulation (tool-use). ...

Parasite-specific cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitors to target Neglected Parasitic Diseases (PDE4NPD)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,
This project aims to unite global efforts to target the highly druggable class of enzymes called cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) in the fight for neglected parasitic diseases (NPD). It will establish a drug discovery platform, PDE4NPD, that combines phenotypic screening with efficient target-centric drug discovery, including target validation, various strategies for compound screening, ...

Advanced Snapshot Swept-Source Mueller Polarimeter (3SMP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
"Optical imaging for medical diagnosis and biology is a fast-growing scientific and technological domain due to their non invasiveness and recent advances in Photonics tools. A major trend in medical imaging is to improve the contrast and access to structural information. Polarisation is a key parameter in this respect. Molecular orientation and microstructural shape are often connected to the deg ...

Synthesis of Liquid-filled Micro-particles as Icy Cosmic Dust Analogues (SLIMPICODA)
Start date: Jun 2, 2014, End date: Jun 1, 2016,
Shock processes involving volatile-bearing bodies are of extreme interest in planetary science and astrobiology, due to the role volatiles - in particular water - are suspected to play in the formation and evolution of life. This project concerns the synthesis and characterisation of liquid-filled nanometre and micrometre sized particles for the simulation of cosmic dust in hypervelocity (km/s) im ...
