Multistage-Multifunctional Porous Silicon Nanovectors for Directed Theranostics (Porous Silicon Nanov)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
The progress of nanotechnology during the last decades has had a strong impact to the current research of biomedical applications, in particular against dreadful diseases such as cancer. It is estimated that more than 12 million cases of cancer are diagnosed every year worldwide. Multidrug resistance, rapid elimination by the immune system, enzymatic degradation, and poor targeting efficiency are ...

Optimized esterase biocatalysts for cost-effective industrial production (OPTIBIOCAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"OPTIBIOCAT is a 48 months project aimed at developing biocatalysts based on feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and glucuronoyl esterases (GEs) for production of phenolic fatty- and sugar- esters with antioxidant activity for cosmetic industry, expanding the number/type of industrial biotransformations. Selected FAEs and GEs available within the consortium will be improved for their thermo- and solvent- re ...

PE2020 – Public Engagement Innovations for Horizon 2020 (PE2020)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
PE2020 will identify, analyse and refine innovative public engagement (PE) tools and instruments for dynamic governance in the field of Science in Society (SiS). PE2020 continues the work began in the MASIS project (2010-2012), both through its consortium and by going deeper in analysing the PE tools and instruments through a systemic and contextual perspective, and contributing to the potential a ...

Linking Pathogen Evolution and Epidemiology (PATHEVOL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"The goal of the proposed research is a comprehensive understanding of how evolutionary potential of pathogen populations interacts with epidemiological dynamics in natural populations. The empirical work will be conducted on the specialist fungal pathogen Podosphaera plantaginis and its host plant Plantago lanceolata in a large network of host populations. I will address the key theories of patho ...

Global Environmental Decision Analysis (GEDA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Habitat degradation and climate change are generally considered the greatest threats to biodiversity globally. Together, these processes pose an urgent challenge to conservation science, requiring ever increasing efficiency in ecologically-based decision making, to slow down, and hopefully eventually reverse, the ongoing global loss of biodiversity. In responding to this challenge, I am proposing ...

Canine models of human psychiatric disease: identifying novel anxiety genes with the help of man's best friend (DOGPSYCH)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Anxiety disorders include different forms of pathological fear and anxiety and rank among the most common health concerns in human medicine. Millions of people become affected every year, and many of them do not respond to treatments. Anxiety disorders are heritable, but genetically complex. As a result, traditional gene mapping methods in the human population with prominent locus and allelic he ...
