Glioma Actively Personalized Vaccine Consortium (GAPVAC)

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

"Glioblastoma (GBM) is a rare (2-3 incidences in 100,000) and fatal disease. Each year, approximately 13,000 new cases of GBM are diagnosed in Europe. The 5-year survival rate of this highly aggressive tumor entity under conventional therapy is less than 6%. Currently available therapeutic options neglect the individuality of each patients’ disease and only temporarily influence tumor progression ...

Development of a cost-efficient, precise and miniaturized sensor system for quality and performance control in baking processes (BREAD-GUARD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Quality assurance plays a key role in the food industry. Current control of safety and quality characteristics in the bakery industry is carried out mainly by random sampling of the initial, intermediate and/or final products. However, this methodology does not allow immediate adjustments to the production process in case any negative quality features are detected and consequently large batches of ...

Innovative Synthesis in Continuous-Flow Processes for Sustainable Chemical Production (SYNFLOW)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The SYNFLOW vision is the paradigm shift from batch-wise large volume processes in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and intermediates production comprising many separate unit operations towards highly integrated but yet flexible catalytic continuous flow processing. For this purpose, SYNFLOW develops a unique integrative approach combining molecular understanding of synthesis and catalysis with eng ...

Replacement of sulphur dioxide (SO2) in food keeping the SAme qualitY and shelf-life of the products (SO2SAY)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Up to today there are many foodstuffs (including beverages and wine) where sulphites are used as antioxidant and preservative agents. Examples for this foodstuff are dried fruits, some kinds of fruit juices, seafood and convenience food (especially containing potatoes). But these sulphites containing agents are in suspicion to cause some damage to the health and they were blamed for some allergy. ...
