Brain Microcirculation : Numerical simulation for inter-species translation with applications in human health (BrainMicroFlow)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,

The cerebral microvascular system is essential to a large variety of physiological processes in the brain, including blood delivery and blood flow regulation as a function of neuronal activity (neuro-vascular coupling). It plays a major role in the associated mechanisms leading to disease (stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, …). In the last decade, cutting edge technologies, including two-photon s ...

Biosensor nanoarrays for environmental monitoring (BIOMONAR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

BIOMONAR develops multiplexed nanoarray biosensors for environmental targets, i.e. pollutants and pathogens. The innovative approach engineers three sensor platforms (surface, liposomal, living cell) which exploit a panel of periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs) as the common selective element. The nanoarrays are integrated into a microfluidics system for in-situ monitoring. The strategy allows for ...

Improving Plant Cell Walls for Use as a Renewable Industrial Feedstock (RENEWALL)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"With oil reserves diminishing and the effects of industrial emissions on global climate, there is a need for renewable carbon-neutral industrial feedstocks. First generation biorefineries, producing biofuels and bioplastics by the fermentation of sugar or starch, are seeing a rapid expansion and are adding stress to food supplies. A more sustainable option is to use plant biomass from agricultura ...

A Preparatory phase proposal for the Square Kilometre Array (PrepSKA)

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

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. It is a machine designed to answer some of the big questions of our time: what is Dark Energy? Was Einstein right about gravity? What is the nature of dark matter? Can we detect gravitational waves? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What was the origin of cosmic magnetism? How do Eart ...
