Improving the flow in the pipeline of the next generation of marine biodiscovery scientists (MarPipe)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2020,

MarPipe is a consortium of 11 partners (IBP-CNR, SZN, UiT, UNIABDN, GEOMAR, KULeuven, UCC, eCOAST, MEDINA, MicroDish, Italbiotec) based in 8 countries (I, N, UK, D, B, IRL, E, NL), including 3 from the non-academic sector. We will train 11 ESRs in marine drug-discovery, providing these researchers with unique skills toward becoming world leaders in this research field and to advance their careers ...

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

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

...ent their growth. Signaling molecules also represent an interesting and marketable product. MaCuMBA will make use of high throughput platforms such Cocagne, using gel micro-droplet technology, or MicroDish in which many thousands of cultures are grown simultaneously. Various single-cell isolation methods, such as optical tweezers, will aid the isolation of specific target cells. Isolated microorga ...

Evolution and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance (EVOTAR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Antibiotics are essential therapeutics in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria that pose a major threat to human health as options for treating infections by these bacteria have become limited. The evolution, emergence and spread ofantibiotic resistance genes are still only poorly understood ...

Systematic screening for novel hydrolases from hot environments (HotZyme)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

There is a strong need for new thermostable hydrolases with appropriate performance and/or novel functionalities that could provide huge savings in time, money and energy for industrial processes. The HotZyme project aims to identify such enzymes from hot terrestial environments, using metagenomic screening methods. New bioinfomatic tools will be developed to facilitate function prediction of gene ...

Biosensor nanoarrays for environmental monitoring (BIOMONAR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

BIOMONAR develops multiplexed nanoarray biosensors for environmental targets, i.e. pollutants and pathogens. The innovative approach engineers three sensor platforms (surface, liposomal, living cell) which exploit a panel of periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs) as the common selective element. The nanoarrays are integrated into a microfluidics system for in-situ monitoring. The strategy allows for ...
