"Nature-inspired theranostic nanodevices for tumor imaging, early diagnosis and targeted drug-release" (NATURE NANODEVICES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

"Late diagnosis and difficult treatment represent major obstacles in the fight against cancer. I propose here the development of self-regulated theranostic nanodevices supporting both early cancer diagnosis and targeted, tumor-cell-specific drug-release. Specifically, I will exploit the “designability” of nucleic acids to design and optimize molecular nanodevices that undergo binding-induced confo ...

New eddy-simulation concepts and methodologies for frontier problems in Turbulence (NewTURB)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

Advances in transportation, energy harvesting, chemical processing, climatology, atmospheric and marine pollution are obstructed by the lack of understanding of turbulence. The turbulent energy transfer toward small-scales is characterized by highly non-Gaussian and out-of-equilibrium fluctuations that cannot be described by mean-field theories or traditional closure approximations. State-of-the-a ...

DEsigning new Paths in The differentiation Hyperspace (DEPTH)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

"The adult human organism contains heterogeneous reservoirs of pluripotent stem cells characterized by a diversified differentiation potential. Understanding their biology at a system level would advance our ability to selectively activate and control their differentiation potential. Aside from the basic implications this would represent a substantial progress in regenerative medicine by providing ...

Sensing toxicants in Marine waters makes Sense using biosensors (SMS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"SMS will deliver a novel automated networked system that will enable real-time in situ monitoring of marine water chemical and ecological status in coastal areas by the detection of a series of contaminants regulated by the MSFD. SMS will design a multi-modular apparatus that will host in a single unit—the Main Box (MB)—a Sampling Module and an Analysis Module. The former will contain sample coll ...

Role of the mitochondrial Translocator Protein (mTSPO) in Brain Cellular Physiology: a Neglected Pathway in Signalling and Self-conservation Mechanisms (TSPO & BRAIN)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Jul 2, 2017,

Balanced energy homeostasis and correct functioning of regulatory processes are the basis of cellular health. The impaired interplay between these is thus responsible for the pathology of tissues especially for those undergoing stress and unable to regenerate such as the Brain. An exhaustive comprehension of the physiology of molecules intimately involved in these phenomena is therefore essential ...

Twentieth Century Structural Engineering: the Italian contribution (SIXXI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"The research project focuses on the works and protagonists of twentieth century structural engineering in Italy. The general goal of the research is to give a major contribution to the international history of the role of engineering in architecture.Beyond the confines of its national focus, the proposal aims to bring out the fundamental role played by Italian structural engineering in the histor ...

DROPLETS AND EMULSIONS: DYNAMICS AND RHEOLOGY (DROEMU)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The applications of micro- and nanofluidics are now numerous, including lab-on-chip systems based upon micro-manipulation of discrete droplets, emulsions of interest in food and medical industries (drug delivery), analytical separation techniques of biomolecules, such as proteins and DNA, and facile handling of mass-limited samples. The problems involved contain diverse nano- and microstructures w ...

Probabilistic And Statistical methods for Cosmological AppLications (PASCAL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"This is an interdisciplinary project at the interface between Mathematical Statistics, Probability and Cosmological Applications. The principal focus is on the harmonic analysis for isotropic, mean square continuous spherical random fields, with a view to applications to Cosmic Microwave Background radiation data analysis. We will focus in particular on the following issues:1) the characterizatio ...

Holomorphic Evolution Equations (HEVO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"The scope of this project is to study holomorphic evolution equations and the associated dynamical systems, both from the local and the global point of view. In particular we aim to study general Loewner equations (both autonomous and non-autonomous) and applications to dynamical systems, in one and several complex variables. In one variable we plan to develop a general version of SLE's for non- ...

Radial basis functions at fluid Interface Boundaries to Envelope flow results for advanced Structural analysis (RIBES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,

In the framework of Clean Sky2, Green Regional Aircraft - GRA - will deliver low-weight aircraft using smart structures. With the aim of mitigating environmental impact through a substantial reduction of pollutant emissions and fuel consumption, a reliable numerical methodology is required to accurately optimise the weight. The design process implies using of CFD and FEM structural models. Then th ...

MACROSCOPIC LAWS AND DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS (MALADY)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

Physics provides descriptions of the world at many different scales, yet the relations between such descriptions are poorly understood. In particular, since Boltzmann and Einstein, we interpret the world we see as the product of the microscopic dynamics of a large number of atoms. In spite of this, no satisfactory rigorous derivation of a macroscopic equation (e.g. the heat equation) from such a m ...

Micro and Macro Determinants of Well-Being (EWEBE)

Start date: May 29, 2012, End date: May 28, 2015,

"The analysis of the determinants of well-being has typically been carried out either at the micro-level to quantify the relationship between income and well-being of individuals within countries, or at the macro-level looking at the aggregate relationship between happiness and GDP between countries. In this project we consider a multilevel structure where characteristics both at the individual an ...

Investigating new therapeutic approaches to Friedreich's Ataxia (FAST)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

"Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) is a devastating degenerative disease with no specific therapy. It is passed by autosomal recessive inheritance and affects 1:30,000 individuals in Caucasian populations. Symptoms appear in the first decade of life and include progressive and unremitting lack of movement coordination, leading to complete inability, and dilated cardiomyopathy leading to congestive heart ...
