Adoptive engineered T cell Trials to Achieve Cancer Killing (ATTACK)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
The aim of this research is to exploit technology for nucleic acid delivery through the clinical testing of adoptive engineered T cells to treat cancer. Recent innovative developments in cancer gene-immunotherapy have led to very encouraging early clinical results. However, the use of engineered T cells is a challenging and complex field with further development and more proof-of-principle trials ...

Fixed Point Open Ocean Observatories Network (FIXO3)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The Fixed point Open Ocean Observatory network (FixO3) seeks to integrate European open ocean fixed point observatories and to improve access to these key installations for the broader community. These will provide multidisciplinary observations in all parts of the oceans from the air-sea interface to the deep seafloor. Coordinated by the National Oceanography Centre, UK, FixO3 will build on the s ...

COmplex Deep-sea Environments: Mapping habitat heterogeneity As Proxy for biodiversity (CODEMAP)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
"Human impact on the deep ocean is rapidly increasing, with largely unknown consequences. Effective management and conservation, based on an ecosystem approach, is hampered by our poor understanding of the deep-sea environment. Measuring biodiversity, the main indicator of ecosystem status and functioning, is a major challenge in deep water: traditional sampling schemes are expensive and time-cons ...

"The forcing of sea level rise in the Arctic, the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea" (FORSEANAM)
Start date: Jun 15, 2011, End date: Jun 14, 2014,
"Understanding the processes that drive sea-level variability is a complex issue, as it involves various local, regional and global features with different time scales, some of them still poorly understood. For this reason, our current capability for producing reliable projections of future sea-level rise is very limited. Advancing the scientific understanding of the key processes that drive sea-l ...

Geo-acoustic mapping of benthic habitat distribution (GEO-HABIT)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
"It is widely recognized that important efforts must be done towards the protection and preservation of the Deep-Sea environments, which are increasingly threatened by human impacts (e.g.: trawl fishing and marine pollution). These efforts imply a further knowledge of the spatial organization of benthic communities in Deep-Sea and an implementation of efficient and cost-saving mapping methods. GEO ...
