The genetic basis of meningococcal and other life threatening bacterial infections of childhood (EUCLIDS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2017,
Bacterial infection is the major cause of disability and death in children worldwide. We will use meningococcal disease (MD) as a model to understand genetic factors underlying susceptibility and severity of childhood bacterial infection which will then be applied to other childhood infections. We have established cohorts of patients with MD in Central and Southern Europe (CE,SE), UK and Africa as ...

Novel Mobile Sonification Process for Local Valorisation of Lignocellulosic (Forest) Materials to produce Valuable Chemicals (BIOSONIC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
The concept of the Lignocellulosic BioRefinery (LCBR) is gaining ground in the EU, as a way to increase the value obtained from wood waste such as sawdust and chippings, from €50/tonne to potentially as much as €500/tonne. To do this, the LCBR would cleanly fractionate the three components – cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin – without degrading them. (Paper and bioethanol “refineries” create good ...
