Molecular basis of the outer membrane permeability (TRANSLOCATION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Overcoming the barriers that the cell envelope and efflux pumps provide to Gram-negative bacteria is a major bottleneck in the discovery and development of new antibiotics. To respond to this Call we are extending our current network on antibiotic translocation and propose an ambitious project ranging from identification of novel resistance mechanisms in clinical bacterial isolates to crystallizat ...

Rational molecular Assessments and Innovative Drug Selection (RAIDS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. The main objective of the RAIDs project is to use this model system which is accessible to repeat biopsies to learn how to stratify patients into targeted therapies. The patients’ tumors will be classified into molecular subtypes based on their molecular profile by use of high-throughput technologies (sequen ...

Recruitment and activation of brown adipocytes as preventive and curative therapy for type 2 diabetes (DIABAT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"The DIABAT project will employ knowledge of the function, dysfunction and physiological regulation of brown adipocytes to develop innovative therapeutic and preventive strategies for type 2 diabetes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is currently a worldwide recognized target to combat obesity and diabetes due to last years re-discovery of functional BAT in adult humans by several of the members of the ...

Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for Oxy-Combustion (HETMOC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

This project will develop and demonstrate Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for OxyCombustion. Oxycombustion is a promising option for implementing cost-efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in future coal fired power plants. The use of oxygen membranes in the process has the potential to significantly reduce the efficiency losses associated with the capture and to improve the overall ...

Climate Induced Changes on the Hydrology of Mediterranean Basins: Reducing Uncertainty and Quantifying Risk through an Integrated Monitoring and Modeling System (CLIMB)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"With regard to the objectives specified in ENV-2009.1.1.5.2, modeling capabilities must be improved and appropriate tools developed to advance the capability to assess climate effects on water resources and uses. The project consortium will employ a combination of novel field monitoring concepts, remote sensing techniques, integrated hydrologic (and biophysical) modeling and socioeconomic factor ...

Efficient Integrated Security Checkpoints (EFFISEC)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Illegal immigration and illicit material detection is a growing concern at the European borders; in that respect border security checkpoints must be particularly efficient against any kind of threat. If airport checkpoints controls are today technically improving, land and seaport checkpoints differ strongly from airports ones and are more complex to process. During the last years, most of the eff ...

EUROpean programme for TRANS-national R&D&I cooperations of BIOtech SMEs (ETB-PRO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

ETB-PRO will reduce the fragmentation of ERA and support high quality R&D&I project cooperation of European biotech SMEs by building on success factors of the predecessor project and establish a sustainable joint program with high funding impact. This will be done in two steps thereby using four calls with a funding volume of € 35 Mio each as an implementation tool. First step: Integration ETB-PRO ...

Predicting antibiotic resistance (PAR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The aim of this proposal is to describe and predict the dynamics of antibiotic resistance development at the level of the drug target, the microbe and the host. That is, we want to generate the knowledge required to be able to connect resistance mechanism --> bacterial physiology and fitness --> bacterial survival within a host --> bacterial spread between hosts. To achieve this goal we will deve ...

Integrated Micro-Nano-Opto Fluidic systems for high-content diagnosis and studies of rare cancer cells (CAMINEMS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The project aims at developing a new integrated and automated microfluidic tool for cancer cells screening. This instrument will have a reliability and power much beyond state of the art (capture yield increased by a factor from 10X to 100X and multimodal typing of the cells in 3D high resolution images), allowing earlier and more accurate diagnosis, prognosis and selection of treatments of cancer ...

Stem Cell Expansion - Expansion and engraftment of haematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells (STEMEXPAND)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"Serious disorders of the blood system, particularly malignant blood disorders and genetic diseases can be effectively treated by blood and marrow transplantation. Despite considerable success with this treatment modality during the last decades, lack of suitable donors, engraftment failure and graft versus host disease remain serious problems that need to be addressed. This project aims to addres ...
