BluePharmTrain

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

Marine sponges harbour extremely diverse populations of microbes, and are world record holders for the production of a plethora of bioactive molecules. Previous studies, however, aiming at the growth of sponges or their associated microbes for the production of bioactive compounds to supply biological material for clinical trials, have been largely unsuccessful.BLUEPHARMTRAIN is a multi-disciplina ...

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

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

Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

OPtimizing TArgets and Therapeutics In high risk and refractOry Multiple Myeloma (OPTATIO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease with rapidly growing prevalence and poor prognosis. Consequently, it is the goal of the OPTATIO consortium to seek out novel strategies for the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic options. The MM pathogenesis involves not only genetic changes within the tumour cells but also the emergence of supportive conditions by the bone marrow microenv ...

Functional liquid Crystalline dendrimers: Synthesis of New Materials, Resource for New Applications (Dendreamers)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

Dendrimers are new materials obtained with a highly controlled molecular structure in several space orientations. Liquid Crystals (LC) Dendrimers are a part of them that incorporate directional properties to these materials. If we append active molecules into these engineered molecules, we can obtain multifunctional anisotropic molecules that open the possibility of achieving a wide variety of phy ...

Understanding and fighting metastasis via dissection of the Core Invasive Machinery (MetaFight)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

The co-operative Metafight project will perform functional studies to understand the dissemination and outgrowth of metastasis through systematic analysis of the Core Invasive Machinery contained within integrin-mediated ECM attachment structure. It includes a large and discretely localised intracellular signalling network which drives migration and invasion. Our strategy is based on the hypothesi ...
