A Photo-triggered On-demand Drug Delivery System for Chronic Pain (NANOHEDONISM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
"Nerve pain affects millions of people, and can be personally devastating for people who experience it. Current methods for pain management (e.g. local injection of pain killers) are inadequate because of the short duration of action. Even sustained release treatments, such as drug-loaded liposomes, provide only one week of analgesia producing a continuous extended nerve blockade without allowing ...

Predictive modelling and simulation in mechano-chemo-biology: a computer multi-approach (INSILICO-CELL)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2018,
Living tissues are regulated by multi-cellular collectives mediated at cellular level through complex interactions between mechanical and biochemical factors. A further understanding of these mechanisms could provide new insights in the development of therapies and diagnosis techniques, reducing animal experiments. I propose a combined and complementary methodology to advance in the knowledge of h ...

European NEtwork for Redistributing Geospatial Information to user Communities - Open Data (ENERGIC OD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
The world of geographic information (GI) is, at present, extremely heterogeneous. User and system requirements, too varied to be satisfied by a single system or technology, have led to an utter lack of agreement on interoperability standards, creating a barrier to realizing the full exploitation potential of GI. ENERGIC OD will address these problems by adopting a broker architectural approach, de ...

MICROWAVE-ASSISTED MICROREACTORS: DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGHLY EFFICIENT GAS PHASE CONTACTOR WITH DIRECT CATALYST HEATING (HECTOR)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
"While heterogeneous catalysis is often considered a mature science, the so-called enabling technologies are often able to produce significant enhancements in the rate of reaction or in the selectivity towards a given product. Two of these enabling technologies constitute the focal point of this project, where nonclassical energy input by microwave iradiation and alternative reaction engineering ( ...

Nano Art Research Tool (NANOART)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
“Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of colour” (Ludwig Wittgenstein in Philosophical Remarks, Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1984). This interdisciplinary project, combining Conservation Science, Nanotechnology, Restoration and Art History, aims to confront this problem regarding the binders applied in paintings, sculptures and illuminated manuscripts, ...

Multifunctional Magnetic Nanoparticles: Towards Smart Drugs Design (NANOPUZZLE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"Nature has been utilizing nanostructures for billion of years. The following two properties, (i) being about the size of typical biological objects and (ii) the possibility of tailoring their properties by changing their size, make nanoparticles attractive for biomedical applications. Using nanoparticles to deliver drugs to tumours offers an attractive possibility to avoid obstacles that occur du ...

Novel Developments in Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) for Rare Event Searches in Underground Astroparticle EXperiments (TREX)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Gaseous detectors like TPCs are seldom used in Rare Event searches (like those looking for Dark Matter particles, Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay or other neutrino experiments) due mainly to the difficulty in reaching target masses large enough to be sensitive to the extremely low counting rates expected. However, very promising recent advances in TPC readouts based on micropatterns (e.g. the Micro ...

The Complimentary Combination of Polyoxometalates and Metal Nanoparticles (COCOPOPS)
Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: May 13, 2015,
"The cooperative chemistry of polyoxometalates (POMs) and metal nanoparticles (NPs) still remains a relatively unexplored area of the chemical sciences despite showing remarkable potential in fields as diverse as catalysis and medicine. The ability to exert synthetic control during the self-assembly of any nanostructured material constructed from molecular precursors is of fundamental importance f ...

Functional liquid Crystalline dendrimers: Synthesis of New Materials, Resource for New Applications (Dendreamers)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Dendrimers are new materials obtained with a highly controlled molecular structure in several space orientations. Liquid Crystals (LC) Dendrimers are a part of them that incorporate directional properties to these materials. If we append active molecules into these engineered molecules, we can obtain multifunctional anisotropic molecules that open the possibility of achieving a wide variety of phy ...
