Synthetic Biology for the production of functional peptides (SYNPEPTIDE)

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

"Peptides are among the most versatile natural products that nature provides to cater for a broad set of biotechnological applications ranging from antibiotics to personal hygiene. Their diversity comes from a broad variety of posttranslational modifications that is used to provide additional functionality beyond to what is possible with the classic proteinogenic set of 20 amino acids. In SYNPEPTI ...

Lower the impact of aggravating factors in crisis situations thanks to adaptative foresight and decision-support tools (SNOWBALL)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

SnowBall is a €5M STREP R&D proposal of 36 months. Its overall objective is to increase preparedness and response capacities of decision-makers, emergency planners and first responders in respect to amplifying hazards in large disasters.SnowBall consists in a deep analysis of cascading effects and development of methods to anticipate them; and in a Decision Support System able to display current c ...

"Rough path theory, differential equations and stochastic analysis" (RPT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"We propose to study stochastic (classical and partial) differential equations and various topics of stochastic analysis, with particular focus on the interplay with T. Lyons' rough path theory:1) There is deep link, due to P. Malliavin, between the theory of hypoelliptic second order partial differential operators and certain smoothness properties of diffusion processes, constructed via stochasti ...

Code-engineered new-to-nature microbial cell factories for novel and safety enhanced bio-production (METACODE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The concept of METACODE is to preform genetic code engineering in microbial strains with parallel recruitment of novel bio-orthogonal chemistries for mass production of desired protein/peptide based products. In combination with computational and classical chemical synthetic approaches as well as chemo-informatics, enzyme guided evolution, synthetic metabolism, and directed evolution of microbial ...

Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (SECTOR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor s ...

Personalized health monitoring (PHM)- Interdisciplinary research to analyse the relationship between ethics, law and psychosocial as well as medical sciences (PHM-Ethics)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

The aim of PHM-Ethics is to scientifically analyse the dependencies between ethics, law and psychosocial sciences in a dynamic part of IT development, i.e. personalized health monitoring (PHM), from a European perspective. First, the development of PHM will be reviewed to identify core steps that delineate major changes from an ethical, legal and psychosocial point of view. A taxonomy will be elab ...

Human behaviour in crisis situations: A cross cultural investigation to tailor security-related communication (BeSeCu)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

The aim of the proposed project is to investigate cross-cultural and ethnic differences of human behaviour in crisis situations in order to better tailor security related communication, instructions and procedures with a view to improving evacuation and protection. The project will provide evidence that will be useful to first responders, building designers and those involved in the development of ...
