COllaborative Management Platform for detection and Analyses of (Re-)emerging and foodborne outbreaks in Europe (COMPARE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

COMPARE aims to harness the rapid advances in molecular technology to improve identification and mitigation of emerging infectious diseases and foodborne outbreaks. To this purpose COMPARE will establish a “One serves all” analytical framework and data exchange platform that will allow real time analysis and interpretation of sequence-based pathogen data in combination with associated data (e.g. c ...

Coordinated Research Infrastructures Building Enduring Life-science services (CORBEL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

The social and economic challenges of ageing populations and chronic disease can only be met by translation of biomedical discoveries to new, innovative and cost effective treatments. The ESFRI Biological and Medical Research Infrastructures (BMS RI) underpin every step in this process; effectively joining scientific capabilities and shared services will transform the understanding of biological m ...

European Marine Biological Research Infrastructure Cluster to promote the Blue Bioeconomy (EMBRIC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,

Marine (blue) biotechnology is the key to unlocking the huge economic potential of the unique biodiversity of marine organisms. This potential remains largely underexploited due to lack of connectivity between research services, practical and cultural difficulties in connecting science with industry, and high fragmentation of regional research, development and innovation (RDI) policies. To overcom ...

BluePharmTrain

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

Marine sponges harbour extremely diverse populations of microbes, and are world record holders for the production of a plethora of bioactive molecules. Previous studies, however, aiming at the growth of sponges or their associated microbes for the production of bioactive compounds to supply biological material for clinical trials, have been largely unsuccessful.BLUEPHARMTRAIN is a multi-disciplina ...

Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure - MIRRI (MIRRI)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

MIRRI will be a pan-European distributed RI providing microbiological services, thus facilitating access to high quality microorganisms, their derivatives and associated data for research, development and application. It will connect resource holders with researchers and policy makers to deliver the resources and services more effectively and efficiently to meet the needs of innovation in biotechn ...

Coordination and Collaboration between reference collections of plant pests and diseases for EU Plant Health Policy (Q-COLLECT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

International trade is increasing tremendously in recent years with a lot of import and export material going in and out of the European Union. Within this context there is also the increasing risk of importing unwanted organisms via this trade. Organisms include plant pests and pathogens, some of which may be on the quarantine list of the European Union. Also climate change may increase the abili ...

The Microme Project: A Knowledge-Based Bioinformatics Framework for Microbial Pathway Genomics (Microme)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

The exponential increase in microbial genome and metagenome sequencing throughput has widened the gap between sequence and functional understanding. A clear picture of metabolic processes across the spectrum of bacterial species is essential to enable the exploitation of microbial genomics for the purposes of environmental biotechnology. The Microme project endeavors to extend the scope of microbi ...

Construction of a Genetic System for Planctomycetes (CoGniSePlanctomyces)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Due to the emerging resistance of bacterial pathogens against commonly used drugs, there is an urgent requirement for new antibiotic compounds and lead structures. The European Commission encouraged researchers to investigate this problem in a holistic manner. Recently bacteria with complex lifestyles and intensive “crosstalk” came into focus as potential source for new small molecule lead structu ...

European Consortium for Microbial Resource Centres (EMbaRC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

EMbaRC will establish a self-sustainable community of European Microbial Resource Centres representing a large bio-diversity and offering a wide-range of not only bio-resources but also expert services. These services will enable the development of new partnerships with public institutes in the field of biodiversity and will facilitate revenue-generating partnerships with the economic sector (larg ...
