Lipid droplets as dynamic organelles of fat deposition and release: Translational research towards human disease (LipidomicNet)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Lipids are central to the regulation and control of cellular processes by acting as basic building units for biomembranes, the platforms for the vast majority of cellular functions. Recent developments in lipid mass spectrometry have set the scene for a completely new way to understand the composition of membranes, cells and tissues in space and time by allowing the precise identification and quan ...

BRAssinosteroid Venture Increasing StudentS' International MObility (BRAVISSIMO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"A future challenge for the European agriculture is to satisfy the growing demands for food in a sustainable manner. Understanding the basic mechanics of plant growth will ultimately lead to our ability to increase yield, while decreasing the need for fertilizer and pesticides. Plant growth is regulated by developmental programmes that can be modified by environmental cues acting through endogenou ...

European Solar-Fuel Initiative - Renewable Hydrogen from Sun and Water. Science Linking Molecular Biomimetics and Genetics (SOLARH2)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
"SOLAR-H2 brings together 12 world-leading European laboratories to carry out integrated, basic research aimed at achieving renewable hydrogen (H2) production from environmentally safe resources. The vision is to develop novel routes for the production of a Solar-fuel, in our case H2, from the very abundant, effectively inexhaustible resources, solar energy and water. Our multidisciplinary experti ...

Developmental Molecular Pathways in Drosophila as a Model for Human Cancer (CancerPathways)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
Cancer is often characterized as a disease of signal transduction pathways, since it is frequently associated with inappropriate activation of such pathways. Indeed, new therapeutic approaches in cancer therapy, such as Herceptin, frequently target signaling pathway components to revert their pathophysiological aberrations. Most oncogenic pathways have been highly conserved throughout evolution wi ...
