Force nanoscopy of staphylococcal biofilms (NanoStaph)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, which are often complicated by the ability of this pathogen to grow as biofilms on indwelling medical devices. Because biofilms protect the bacteria from host defenses and are resistant to many antibiotics, biofilm-related infections are difficult to fight and represent a tremendous burden on our healthcare system. Today, a ...

Semiparametric Inference for Complex and Structural Models in Survival Analysis (COSMOS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,

In survival analysis investigators are interested in modeling and analysing the time until an event happens. It often happens that the available data are right censored, which means that only a lower bound of the time of interest is observed. This feature complicates substantially the statistical analysis of this kind of data. The aim of this project is to solve a number of open problems related t ...
