Rewiring the Streptomyces cell factory for cost-effective production of biomolecules (STREPSYNTH)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

STREPSYNTH aims to set-up a Streptomyces-based new industrial production platform (SNIP) for high value added biomolecules. Streptomyces lividans was chosen as a bacterial host cell because it has been already shown to be highly efficient for the extracellular production of a number of heterologous molecules that vary chemically, has a robust tradition of industrial fermentation and is fully acces ...

Collaboration on the Optimisation of Macromolecular Pharmaceutical Access to Cellular Targets (COMPACT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Most biopharmaceuticals (BP) currently on the market are recombinant proteins which are parenterally administered. These would benefit from more patient-friendly routes of administration. Moreover, new classes of BP (e.g. siRNA, miRNA, DARPins) with specificity for intracellular targets hold promise but await the advent of efficient delivery systems before their potential can be realised into ther ...

Ocean Food-web Patrol – Climate Effects: Reducing Targeted Uncertainties with an Interactive Network (OCEAN-CERTAIN)

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

The marine food web is at the centre of both the climate-related CO2 cycle and food production in the marine environment. It plays a key role in regulating the climate system and is highly sensitive to climate change and other stressors. OCEAN-CERTAIN will investigate the impact of climatic and non climatic stressors on the food web and the connected biological pump , and the important feedbac ...

Insulator Spintronics (InSpin)

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

InSpin will develop revolutionary nano-scale insulator spintronics that can replace or be integrated with conventional electronics and function at ambient temperatures. The innovation lies in the use of spin currents that in magnetic insulators are decoupled from charge currents and propagate with extremely low power dissipation. InSpin's objectives are to provide a disruptive technology that is s ...

Adaptive Cooperative Control in Urban (sub) Systems (ACCUS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Urban systems like traffic, energy, and outdoor lighting are managed by self-contained embedded systems – though the managed processes are deeply interconnected. New applications and collective optimization require integration of these systems which represents a truly “systems of systems” integration problem: these urban systems evolve independently, have their own purpose and internal policies wh ...
