Sensing and integration of signals governing cell polarity and tropism in fungi (FUNGIBRAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Cell polarity and directed growth (tropism) are fundamental biological processes. Most fungi are dependent on these processes because they grow as polarised filaments called hyphae, whose growth and developmentare governed by physical and chemical cues from the environment. Such cues include surface-contact, light, nutrients, mating partners, host organisms, or ‘self’ hyphae from within the fung ...

Development of corneal biomechanical model. Dynamic topographical characterization based on 3D plenoptic imaging (POPCORN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Uncorrected refractive errors are the second leading cause of blindness. Procedures detecting and correcting those errors, such as regular eye exams, glasses or contact lenses or refractive laser based surgery, could thereby transform the lives of millions of people. It is known that successful laser based refractive eye surgery can reduce or even cure common vision refractive errors, as well as, ...

Training Network on Zebrafish Infection Models for Pharmaceutical Screens (FishForPharma)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic micro-organisms are major causes of death, disability, and social and economic disruption for millions of people. During evolution these pathogens have developed intricate strategies to manipulate host defence mechanisms and outwit the immune system. To reduce the burden of infectious diseases it is important to increase understanding of these host-pathogen ...
