Synthetic bacterial lipid rafts to optimize industrial bioprocesses (Rafts4Biotech)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
Genetic tractability of bacterial cells allows generating synthetic microbial chassis platforms (SMCPs) with remarkable biotechnological applications but their functionality currently faces important off-genome limitations due to deficient protein-protein interactions, unfavorable protein stoichiometry or generation of toxic intermediates that ultimately compromise the industrial production proces ...

Nanomethods to understand what makes an endogenous protein immunogenic (PredicTOOL)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2020,
One of the major challenges in understanding the complex immune system is the question when and why this defense system attacks endogenous proteins (i.e. self-proteins). Currently, there are no reliable methods to predict what induces such an immune response, despite it has a major impact in medicine by causing autoimmune diseases, and in biotechnology by inducing adverse reactions towards new dru ...

Joint capacity building in biomedical higher education through adopting international academic standards and transferring technology between European and Vietnam universities
Start date: Oct 15, 2016, End date: Oct 14, 2019,
The lack of qualified Human Resources is one of the biggest weaknesses of Vietnamese’s Health Care system: there are only 1,2 medical doctors per 1000 inhabitants, while EU average indicator is 3.3 per 1000 inhabitants. The low number of doctors comes from limited capacity of universities to prepare and train medical professionals, the available staff resources are distributed unequally among spec ...

Towards the elimination of iodine deficiency and preventable thyroid-related diseases in Europe (EUthyroid)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,
Despite the fact that iodine deficiency (ID) can easily be prevented by iodine fortification of table salt, industrial salt and cattle food, Europe belongs to the worst regions in terms of access to iodized salt and is seriously ID, resulting in the perpetuation of the single most important, preventable cause of brain damage. European ID is due to significant heterogeneity in prevention and monito ...
