TRAINING NETWORK ON ORGANIC OPTOELECTRONICS INTEGRATED WITH LIVING SYSTEMS FOR NEUROSCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS AND APPLICATIONS (OLIMPIA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"OLIMPIA is a training network initiative built on research and development of innovative organic optoelectronic devices interfaced and integrated with living systems. The living systems of choice are neural cells (glia and neuron) that will be interfaced and integrated in vitro and in vivo with different organic electronic and optoelectronic devices (such as OLED, OFET/OLET, OECT, OPD). The major ...

Sustainable surfactant production from renewable resources through natural fermentation for applications in natural, organically-certified products (O4S)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

O4S (=Organic for Surfactants) has been primarily designed to address a critical necessity of the European Natural Cosmetic Sector which is lacking a sustainable source of surfactants (Surface Active Agents) that can be considered natural and are of certified organic origin to meet the growing market demands. This development will provide the natural cosmetic sector with an alternative to replace ...

European West Nile collaborative research project (EuroWestNile)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most evident examples of emerging/re-emerging pathogens one can nominate, which is characterized by occasional virulent epizootic outbreaks. Despite intensive research done since its first appearance in the Americas in 1999, many aspects of its molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, pathogenesis and life cycle are still poorly understood. Being a generalist p ...

Integration of living cells with organic transistors for the rapid detection of toxins and enteric pathogens (CELLTOX)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"The epithelium plays a significant role in resistance to infection in mammals, and is made up of a single layer of elongated, column-shaped cells that line the stomach and colon. This single layer of epithelial cells restricts the entry of toxins and pathogens, while selectively absorbing nutrients that sustain the body. Pathogens have devised multiple mechanisms to destroy the integrity of the i ...

An Adaptive Learning System for Reasoning about Stories with Poor Comprehenders and their Educators (TERENCE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Developing the capabilities of children to comprehend written texts is key to their development as young adults. Text comprehension skills and strategies develop enormously from the age of 7-8 until the age of 11, when children develop as independent readers. Nowadays, more and more young children turn out to be poor (text) comprehenders: they demonstrate text comprehension difficulties, related t ...

ArtistDesign – Design for Embedded Systems (ArtistDesign)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The ArtistDesign NoE is the visible result of the ongoing integration of a community, that emerged through the Artist FP5 Accompanying Measure and that was organised through the Artist2 FP6 NoE.The central objective for ArtistDesign is to build on existing structures and links forged in Artist2, to become a virtual Center of Excellence in Embedded Systems Design. This will be mainly achieved throu ...

"European Network for Genetic-Epidemiological Studies: building a method to dissect complex genetic traits, using essential hypertension as a disease model" (HYPERGENES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"The project is focused on the definition of a comprehensive genetic epidemiological model of complex traits like Essential Hypertension (EH) and intermediate phenotypes of hypertension dependent/associated Target Organ Damages (TOD). To identify the common genetic variants relevant for the pathogenesis of EH and TODs, we will perform a Whole Genome Association (WGA) study of 4.000 subjects recrui ...

Inhibiting Nef: a novel drug target for HIV-host interactions (iNEF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Although HIV-1 Nef was originally named "negative factor," it has been shown to be critical for efficient persistance of HIV-1 infected humans thus playing a major role in the progression to AIDS. Remarkably; until now Nef has not been evaluated as an antiretroviral drug target. It is well established that Nef promotes HIV-1 replication and facilitates viral immune evasion by interacting with vari ...

COMBEST: COMponent-Based Embedded Systems design Techniques (COMBEST)

End date: Jan 1, 2008,

COMBEST will provide a formal framework for component based design of complex embedded systems. This framework will:1.\tEnable formal integration of heterogeneous components, such as with different models of communication or execution;2.\tProvide complete encapsulation of components both for functional and extra-functional properties and develop foundations and methods ensuring composability of co ...
