MULTISCALE MODELLING OF THE RHEOLOGY OF MANTLE MINERALS (RheoMan)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

Understanding mantle convection is essential to understand the thermal and chemical evolution of the Earth and to constrain the forces driving plate tectonics. The rheological properties of the mantle are traditionally inverted from surface geophysical data. Radial profiles of the viscosity are thus available but a lot of uncertainties remain.A more detailed model of mantle rheology could be obtai ...

Ion Transport Proteins in Control of Cancer Cell Behaviour (IonTraC)

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

"With over 3 million new cases and 1.5 million arising deaths each year in Europe, cancer is a major public health problem with an urgent need for new therapies. This proposal builds upon mounting evidence that ion channels and transporters underlie many of the hallmarks of cancer. Thus, proteins involved in membrane transport, long known as important drug targets in other pathologies (channelopat ...

Evaluation of the genetic response to climatic changes: the demographic history of the cottoid fish flock from Baikal (GEN-RESP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"Little is known about the evolutionary response of species to climate changes because time scales are too long to be directly studied; however recent phylogenetic studies on ancient lakes taxa suggest that climate- and/or geological-induced environmental changes can be reconstructed by analyzing genetic patterns within and among species. Lake Baikal is the most voluminous and deepest freshwater l ...
