"Health and the Understanding of Metabolism, Aging and Nutrition" (HUMAN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
"Recently intense research identified around 4,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human age related diseases such as metabolic disorders. Despite their highly significant association to pathology, the functional role of these genetic variants is, in most cases, yet to be elucidated. The evolutionary distance of most animal models from humans represents a major limitation fo ...

GaAs Nano-OptoMechanical Systems (GANOMS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
"A Nano-OptoMechanical System (NOMS) is an ideal interface between nanomechanical motion and photons. The merits of such a system depend crucially on the level of optical/mechanical coupling. For sufficient coupling, the nanomechanical motion is efficiently imprinted on photons and read-out with the assets of optical detection: broadband, fast, ultra sensitive (ultimately quantum limited). Moreove ...

Novel Type of Terahertz Devices (NOTEDEV)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
"The realization of efficient, cheap, reliable, scalable and portable terahertz (THz) radiation sources and detectors is one of the important objectives in modern applied physics. THz emitters and detectors have potential applications in biology, medicine, security and nondestructive in-depth imaging. However none of the existing THz devices satisfy the application requirements. The project consor ...

Investigating the involvement of lincRNAs in aging of haematopoietic stem cells and in haematological malignancies (lincAge)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Changes in chromatin structure are observed during aging and are often a critical step during tumorigenesis. The class of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNA), has emerged as an important regulator of chromatin structure during normal differentiation, and recently has been implicated in the disregulation of chromatin structure observed in several solid tumours. These lincRNAs could represent ...

Electrolyte-Gated Organic Field-Effect BIOsensors (BioEGOFET)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,
Electronic transduction can open new perspectives for point-of-care diagnosis and treatment monitoring. In this respect, label free, organic field-effect transistor (OFET) sensors have recently raised the interest of the organic-electronic community. The EGOFET biosensor aims at an electronic transduction of a bio-recognition event, eventually leading to an amplified response. The sensor combines ...
