Biogeography and metapopulation genetics of understudied hydrozoan reef foundation species Millepora spp (HYDROREEF)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Reef ecosystems are one of the most threatened environments on Earth. Because they provide invaluable services to coastal communities and sustain a large part of global biodiversity, the conservation of their biodiversity and functioning is vital. Millepora species are the second reef builders after scleractinians, yet little is known about them. Such foundation species, providing shelter, food an ...

Transposon-based, targeted ex vivo gene therapy to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (TARGETAMD)

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

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a neurodegenerative disease of the retina, is a major cause of blindness in elderly people. Due to the aging population, AMD has been referred to as a “time bomb” in society. In the exudative form of AMD, high levels of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and low levels of pigment-epithelial derived factor (PEDF), an inhibitor of vascularization a ...

HEADLINES. A historical study of the iconic transverse section of the head and the process of building a scientific consensus about the mind (1400-1550) (Headlines)

Start date: Feb 15, 2012, End date: Dec 24, 2014,

‘Headlines’ aims to study the visual cross-section of the head - a specific technique of projecting the inside as well as the outside of our head in a special way of ordering space as a show-box. This picture was developed in the early fourteenth century, was consolidated in scholarly work in the fifteenth and lasted until the seventeenth century, carrying Aristotelian concepts into the modern epo ...

Enhanced Technology for Open Intelligent Learning Environments (EtoileCascadesIdeas)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

Complex systems science is highly interdisciplinary. The silo-based education provided by most universities creates scientists expert in one discipline but ignorant of most others. Most PhD programmes require students to learn key ideas from other disciplines relevant to their topic, but knowledge across the community is patchy. This includes basic social science and even the core disciplines of ...
