Rapid Bioprocess Development (Biorapid)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Reducing lead times of new medicinal drugs to the market by reducing process development and clinical testing timeframes is a critical driver in increasing European (bio)pharmaceutical industry competitiveness. Despite new therapeutic principles (e.g. the use of pluripotent stem cells, regenerative medicine and treatments based on personalised medicine or biosimilars) or regulatory initiatives to ...

Yeast biodiversity as a source of innovations in food and health (CORNUCOPIA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"Cornucopia will train a new generation of young scientists focusing on less studied yeasts with interesting traits, which could be applied in the food and health sectors. Yeasts are a divergent group of fungi that predominantly exist as unicellular organisms. The baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is by far the best known because of its role in producing beverages, baking and recombinant drug ...

The Development of a Next Generation Probiotic Supplement for Treatment and Prevention of Antibiotic Associated Diarrhoea (Qualvivo)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Stress, medications, global travel and an imbalanced diet are having an increasingly adverse effect on the health of the European population derived from weakened immune systems. This manifests itself in the occurrence of serious ailments such as acute infectious diarrhoea (AID), ulcerative colitis (UC), travellers’ diarrhoea (TD) and antibiotic associated diarrhoea (AAD). Specifically, in the cas ...

Controlling Biogenic Amines in Traditional Food Fermentations in Regional Europe (BIAMFOOD)

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

"Food fermentations are among the traditional industries that have a long standing history worldwide. In spite of great technological advantages, much of the industry is still based on traditional, experienced-based techniques that are strongly rooted in specific geographic regions. In food fermentations, consortia of microorganisms are essential to the process, and determine the characteristics o ...
