Biotechnological optimization of light use efficiency in algae photobioreactors (BioLEAP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
New renewable energy source are highly needed to compensate exhausting fossil fuels reserves and reduce greenhouse gases emissions. Some species of algae have an interesting potential as feedstock for the production of biodiesel thanks to their ability to accumulate large amount of lipids. Strong research efforts are however needed to fulfil this potential and address many issues involving optimiz ...

Molecular Anatomy and Pathophysiology of the endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria interface (ERMITO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"Organelles are not randomly organized in the cytoplasm of the cell, but often are orderly arranged in mutual relationships that depend on physical, protein bounds. Understanding the molecular nature of the tethers that regulate relative position and juxtaposition of the organelles is one of the main quests of cell biology, given their functional importance. For example, the juxtaposition between ...

Controlling infectious diseases in oysters and mussels in Europe (BIVALIFE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
"The two core objectives of BIVALIFE are (i) to provide innovative knowledge related to pathogens infecting oysters and mussels and (ii) to develop practical approaches for the control of infectious diseases and resulting mortality outbreaks these pathogens induce. The project will address the major issue identified by the European commission (i.e. detection and management of infectious diseases i ...

Targeted Nanosystems for Improving Photodynamic Therapy and Diagnosis of Cancer (NANOPHOTO)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"The overall objective of this proposal is the development of one or more nanosystems loaded with Foscan® and conjugated to cancer cell specific ligands for improving the efficacy and selectivity of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and optimise a fluorescence-based tumour imaging approach. At present, PDT with Foscan® can be very effective but is not selective because Foscan® accumulates in the tumour ...
