Development of an integrated approach based on validated and standardized methods to support the implementation of the EC recommendation for a definition of nanomaterial (NANODEFINE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology. Still existing uncertainties concerning EHS need to be addressed to explore the full potential of this new technology. One challenge consists in the development of methods that reliably identify, characterize and quantify nanomaterials (NM) both as substance and in various products and matrices. The European Commission has recently recommended a definit ...

A consumer oriented prototype – forming the nucleus of a novel Ecological Accounting System (MYECOCOST)

Start date: Oct 15, 2012, End date: Oct 14, 2015,

myEcoCost is a foundational methodology that defines a global collaborative network of resource accounting nodes. It provides a means of accounting for and expressing usage of natural resources for products, services and technologies, to inform all economic actors including SMEs (Small and Medium size Enterprise) and consumers, on environmentally relevant information. It is a novel, bottom up appr ...

Paediatric European Risperidone Studies (PERS)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"Second-generation antipsychotics are increasingly being prescribed to children and adolescents. Their use, however, is mostly off-label, and adequate and sufficient data about efficacy and particular safety are lacking. This proposal focuses on two indications, the use of risperidone in children and adolescents with conduct disorder who are not mentally retarded, and the use of risperidone in ado ...

Robust Sheep Electronic Identification (ROSEI)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

It is clear that group (batch) identification is not an adequate method to trace sheep movements across the EU, as the Foot & Mouth outbreak in 2001 demonstrated. Once animals move through different holdings, farms, or markets, it is very difficult to track where each animal is going without individual identification and recording. Should there be a disease outbreak the uncontrolled movement of an ...

Bio-Orthogonal Chemo-Specific Ligation (BioChemLig)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The Post-genomic era calls for a deep understanding of protein structure and function. The elucidation of protein structures, localization, post-translation modifications, and protein-macromolecule interactions are important to establish their role in the biology of the cell. To establish their role and investigate the protein functions requires the integration of various complementary disciplines ...

PROteomics SPECification in Time and Space (PROSPECTS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"Proteomics is a major new field in biomedical research, which deals with the large-scale identification and characterization of large groups of proteins, or “proteomes”. These can either be the components of a subcellular organelle or compartment, or even the entire protein complement of whole cells and tissues. Proteomics is essential in the functional annotation of the genome and in future atte ...

Laboratory Skin Patches and SmartCards based on foils and compatible with a smartphone (LabOnFoil)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Conventional analytical methods often require a large sample volume and complicated time-consuming protocols. The objective of this project is to develop ultra low cost laboratories on chips (LOC) without penalisation in time response, sensitivity or simplicity of use. The user will obtain the test results using a very popular interface (a smartphone) and a set of Labcards and Skin Patches where t ...

Synaptic mechanisms of memory loss: novel cell adhesion molecules as therapeutic targets (MemStick)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

Memory loss is a central symptom in different diseases, and represents a significant social and economic burden for a large percentage of European citizens. The molecular and neurobiological bases of memory deficits are largely unknown and there are currently no drugs available that can markedly decelerate or prevent memory decline. To address this major problem, this project will investigate the ...
