Membrane protein dynamics and interactions (MPFP)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,
Many important protein families such as signaling receptors, ion channels, structural proteins and enzymes are embedded in the membrane of cells. Despite their importance, understanding of their structure, dynamics and interactions lacks behind that of soluble proteins due to their hydrophobic nature which makes them difficult to study experimentally. We propose to recruit and retain in the Divisi ...

ASSET: Analysing and Striking the Sensitivities of Embryonal Tumours (ASSET)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
Cancer is hallmarked by multiple genetic aberrations that lead to a functional derangement of cellular signalling networks. Embryonal tumours (ETs) comprising neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and Ewing sarcoma, occur early in life, and thus may reveal pathogenetically relevant lesions clearer than adulthood tumours which carry passenger mutations accumulated during life. ASSET will exploit this fact ...

Recruitment and activation of brown adipocytes as preventive and curative therapy for type 2 diabetes (DIABAT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
"The DIABAT project will employ knowledge of the function, dysfunction and physiological regulation of brown adipocytes to develop innovative therapeutic and preventive strategies for type 2 diabetes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is currently a worldwide recognized target to combat obesity and diabetes due to last years re-discovery of functional BAT in adult humans by several of the members of the ...

Aquired Environmental Epigenetics Advances: from Arabidopsis to maize (AENEAS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
This proposal, entitled “Acquired Environmental Epigenetics Advances: from Arabidopsis to maize” (acronym: AENEAS), aims to assess the impact of environmental conditions on epigenetic states in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and then transfer knowledge to maize (Zea mays): an important European crop. Advances in understanding the detailed mechanisms of epialleles formation in response to env ...

"Low cost, easy to use Intelligent Irrigation Scheduling System" (WATER-BEE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
"Agriculture, the largest industry in the world, is also the biggest threat to the environment. According to the WWF, agriculture wastes 60% or 1,500 trillion litres, of the 2,500 trillion litres of water it uses each year - which is 70% of the world’s accessible water. One of the main culprits is inefficient water irrigation systems. Looking at the European context, 65% of total water consumption ...
