Collaboration on the Optimisation of Macromolecular Pharmaceutical Access to Cellular Targets (COMPACT)

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

Most biopharmaceuticals (BP) currently on the market are recombinant proteins which are parenterally administered. These would benefit from more patient-friendly routes of administration. Moreover, new classes of BP (e.g. siRNA, miRNA, DARPins) with specificity for intracellular targets hold promise but await the advent of efficient delivery systems before their potential can be realised into ther ...

Rational Bioactive Materials Design for Tissue Regeneration (BIODESIGN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The development of functional materials for tissue regeneration is today mostly based on perceived and limited design criteria often using a single point approach with lengthy animal trials. The outcome after in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation is often disappointing resulting in a tedious iteration process. The main objective of this project is to achieve radical innovations in state-of-the-art bioma ...

Children with diffuse lung disease, also called childhood interstitial lung diseases (chILD), may have one of more than 200 entities, the biggest group of respiratory orphan lung diseases. Frequently undiagnosed because of lack of awareness or complex differential diagnosis, they lead to much morbidity, mortality (about 15%) and psychosocial stress for the families. Current lack of evidence based ...

Fetal adrenal and gonadal sex hormone synthesis in health and disease (FSHS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Mar 10, 2016,

"The differentiation of the male and female genital phenotype is established at 7-12 weeks post conception. During this period, maintaining the appropriate intrauterine hormone environment is essential. However, it is surprising how little is known about the intrauterine hormonal milieu and the consequences of hormonal alterations. During her Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship Dr Reisch’s work ...

Heterogeneous activity underlying the control of animal behaviour by a fungus (HeteroGENIUS)

Start date: Aug 16, 2012, End date: Aug 15, 2015,

One of the most dramatic examples of parasites controlling behaviour is the manipulation of ants infected by the fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, causing them to bite into vegetation before dying.Most work so far has described the ant’s behaviour. I plan to study the process behind this behaviour from the fungal genome point of view. The environment experienced by the fungal parasite changes dr ...

PREPARED “ENABLING CHANGE” (PREPARED)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

IPCC climate change scenarios have a global perspective and need to be scaled down to the local level, where decision makers have to balance risks and investment costs. Very high investments might be a waste of money and too little investment could result in unacceptable risk for the local community. PREPARED is industry driven, 12 city utilities are involved in the project and the RDT carried out ...

“Effect of diet on the mental performance of children” (NUTRIMENTHE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Current evidence on the effect of diet on mental performance (MP) is largely based on animal, retrospective studies, and short-term nutritional intervention studies in humans. NUTRIMENTHE will significantly improve this knowledge through studying the role, mechanisms, risks & benefits of specific nutrients & food components to respond to specific needs and improve the MP of children. The research ...

Helicopter Drag Prediction using Detached-Eddy Simulation (HELIDES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"Reduction of aerodynamic drag is central to the ACARE 2020 goal of reducing fuel consumption in air transportation. For rotorcraft, the majority of the drag occurs due to extensive flow separation around the fuselage and rotor hub. Such highly unsteady flows present significant challenges for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques in terms of solution fidelity and computational expense.How ...

Angiogenesis-inducing Bioactive and Bioresponsive Scaffolds in Tissue Enginering (AngioScaff)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Angiogenesis underlies almost all biological processes of morphogenesis, including those in tissue repair and regeneration. Physiological angiogenesis is controlled by a complex interplay between cells and their environment: the extracellular matrix (ECM) provides signaling via numerous ECM adhesion molecules and growth factors bound to ECM polysaccharide components; and cells locally degrade and ...

Mechanisms of early protective exposures on allergy development (EFRAIM)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

Allergy has developed into a major health concern in Europe. Allergic diseases can currently be managed effectively but not cured. The onset of allergies stars early in life and there is increasing evidence that exogenous factors affecting the incidence of these illnesses exert their effect early in life, in part even prenatally. The highly interdisciplinary EFRAIM project will prospectively inves ...
