The Development of Protein Cage-Based Inorganic Nano-Materials (resubmission) (NanoCage)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Oct 18, 2017,

Inorganic nanomaterials have attracted extensive attention as a result of their potential for a multitude of applications including those related to electronics and catalysis, and as part of sensors in medical diagnosis. Previously, we have described a new technique to generate gold nanoparticles inside the cavity of a ferritin cage protein by first forming a small nanocluster and using it as a se ...

Integrated Macro-Financial Modelling for Robust Policy Design (MACFINROBODS)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

"During the global financial crisis and ensuing Great Recession, economists at policy-making institutions had little choice but to augment macroeconomic models with ad-hoc assumptions and adjustments in order to provide analysis and advice for policy makers. Our consortium’s proposal aims to move policy-focused macroeconomic modelling beyond this approach to the endogenous modelling of the dynamic ...

A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

A chemical approach to understanding the role of membranes and membrane transport in cell division (CHEMMEM)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, has two crucial processes to achieve: equal sorting of cellular components between the daughter cells, and membrane ingression and closure. Both processes strongly rely on membrane components and properties. It is known that some lipids localize to the cleavage site and that membrane transport is required to relieve cortical tension during cytokinesis, ...

Sarcomere based Signals in Muscle Remodelling (SARCOSI)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The sarcomere is the structural unit of striated muscle tissues where thick and thin filaments cooperate to achieve muscle contraction. Recently it is becoming increasingly clear that sarcomeres have in addition to muscle contraction also important signaling functions: Stretch and strain sensing signalosomes are assembled by the giant muscle proteins titin and nebulin, that in turn are embedded in ...

Hydrogen Transport in European Cities (HyTEC)

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

This proposal focuses on creating two new European hydrogen passenger vehicle deployment centres in London and Copenhagen – cities that are widely recognised as synonymous with the goal of developing and then adopting ultra-low carbon urban transport solutions.The HyTEC project will also create genuine links between the new and existing hydrogen passenger vehicle demonstration projects across Euro ...

A Roadmap for Mental Health Research in Europe (ROAMER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"On the regional level, Europe has one of the highest levels of resources for mental health care. Despite this, the high burden and impact of mental disorders in Europe is expected to rise. “ROAdmap for Mental health Research” (ROAMER) is designed to develop a comprehensive, consensus-based roadmap to promote and integrate mental health and well-beingresearch in Europe. Research advances and innov ...

New chemical platforms for targeted radiopharmaceuticals based on generator-produced metal isotopes (Radiopharm Metal Iso)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Targeted radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy are important in the development of a personalised medicinal approach in oncology. The radiometal isotopes, Ga-68, Tc-99m and Re-188 are particularly useful as they are sourced from a generator and their decay properties are amenable to PET diagnosis, SPECT diagnosis and radiotherapy respectively. This project aims to develop new radiochemica ...

SEISMIC ENGINEERING RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES FOR EUROPEAN SYNERGIES (SERIES)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

"European seismic engineering research suffers from extreme fragmentation of research infrastructures (RI) between countries and limited access to them by the S/T community of earthquake engineering, especially that of Europe’s most seismic regions. A 23-strong Consortium of the key actors in Europe’s seismic engineering research (including 3 industrial partners) addresses these problems in a sust ...
