Shaping and Transformation in the Engineering of Polysaccharides (STEP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Naturally occurring polysaccharides constitute the largest segment of all available polymers, and hence exhibit the greatest potential as renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly replacements for man-made polymers derived from fossil-resources. That this potential remains untapped to a large degree is testament to the inherent challenges in converting polysaccharides from natural sources to forms ...

Production and delivery of antibody fragments against gastrointestinal pathogens by lactobacilli (LACTOBODY)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
"Enteric infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, accounting for an estimated 2 millions deaths each year. Effective preventive and therapeutic interventions are not yet available for many etiological agents of diarrheal diseases. Furthermore, even where vaccines are available, the lag time needed to induce an immune response can be critical in epidemic situations. We ...
