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 ...

Beneficial effects of dietary bioactive peptides and polyphenols on cardiovascular health in humans (BACCHUS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"The main objective of the BACCHUS project is to develop tools and resources that will facilitate the generation of robust and exploitable scientific evidence that can be used to support claims of a cause and effect relationship between consumption of bioactive peptides and polyphenols, and beneficial physiological effects related to cardiovascular health in humans. To achieve this, the BACCHUS c ...

FORest management strategies to enhance the MITigation potential of European forests (FORMIT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"Forest management can lead to continuous carbon sequestration, while timber as a renewable energy source can used as a substitute for fossil fuel, thus multiplying this mitigation effect. FORMIT aims to develop forest management scenarios for carbon sequestration in Europe, including mitigation measures and management strategies for different regions, and accounting for trade-offs with other fore ...

Ecological, molecular, and evolutionary spatial dynamics (SPATIALDYNAMICS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
The study of wild populations will benefit of increasing integration of ecological, molecular, genetic, and evolutionary approaches. The Glanville fritillary butterfly has a classic metapopulation in a network of 4,000 habitat patches in the Åland Islands, Finland, within an area of 50 by 70 km, across which population surveys have been conducted since 1993. Taking advantage of the opportunity to ...

Spatial ecology: bringing mathematical theory and data together (SPAECO)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"The goal of my research plan is to make fundamental progress in the understanding of the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of populations inhabiting the heterogeneous and changing landscapes of the real world. To reach this goal, I will construct general and mathematically rigorous theories and develop novel statistical approaches linking the theories to data. In the mathematical part of the p ...

European responses to climate change: deep emissions reductions and mainstreaming of mitigation and adaptation (RESPONSES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
EU action on climate change is now focused on accelerating mitigation efforts, while seeking to reduce risks associated with climate change impacts. To achieve the multiple goals of cutting greenhouse gas emissions, reducing vulnerability to climate impacts, and building mitigative and adaptive capacities, climate action needs to be mainstreamed across all EU policy sectors. As the scale of Europe ...
