FRAGments training NETwork (FRAGNET)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

The promise of more efficient lead discovery is fuelling the enthusiasm for fragment-based lead discovery (FBLD). In this approach, highly sensitive biochemical and biophysical screening technologies are being used to detect the low affinity binding of low molecular weight compounds (the so-called fragments) to protein targets that are involved in pathophysiological processes. By investigating the ...

Barrel Assemblies of Membrane Active Artificial Foldamers (BARREL)

Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Development of resistance by bacteria to antibiotics makes design of novel antimicrobial compounds increasingly important. As persistent cells often become slow-growing or dormant, strategies targeting their membrane are becoming more relevant. For several natural antimicrobial peptides function can be coupled to scaffolds with high sheet content. Toxic oligomers may assemble into hydrophilic or l ...

Investigation of local and global cortical circuits with advanced neural probes for high-resolution electrophysiological monitoring and optogenetic stimulation (NeuroSeeker)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Most cognitive functions are based on computations that take place in the cerebral cortex, composed of a larger number of areas, each with a complex anatomical structure, with neurons of different types and in different layers interacting according to a precise scheme. The anatomical organization of cortical areas is similar, with some modulation according to its sensory, motor or associative func ...

Targeting Multidrug Resistant Cancer (ABC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Despite considerable advances in drug discovery, resistance to anticancer chemotherapy confounds the effective treatment of patients. Cancer cells can acquire broad cross-resistance to mechanistically and structurally unrelated drugs. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) actively extrudes many types of drugs from cancer cells, thereby conferring resistance to those agents. The central tenet of my work is that Pgp ...

Fundamental and Applied Electromagnetics of Nano-Carbons (FAEMCAR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"Owing to very small dimensions of nanostructures in one or more directions, spatial confinement of charge carriers is fully achieved, providing thereby a discrete spectrum of their energy states. In addition, intrinsic spatial inhomogeneity of nanostructures dictates nanoscale inhomogeneity of the surrounding electromagnetic fields. Therefore, understanding the properties of nanostructures requir ...

The statistical physics of network formation games (StatPhysNetFormGame)

Start date: Nov 8, 2013, End date: Nov 7, 2015,

"Modelling complex networks (e.g. the Internet or social networks) has in the past few years been a central topic in statistical physics. However, the role of game theory for network formation is still not sufficiently appreciated by physicists. Here I propose to develop a model, called the ""local network connection game"", which is inspired by the manner in which decisions are taken by agents in ...
