Imaging the Force of Cancer (FORCE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in EU member states with ~90% of all cancer deaths caused by metastatic spread. Despite its significance, measuring metastatic potential as well as potential indicators of therapy efficacy remain unmet clinical challenges. Recently, it has been demonstrated in vitro, that aggressive metastatic cells pull on their surroundings suggesting that metastat ...

ECOPOTENTIAL: IMPROVING FUTURE ECOSYSTEM BENEFITS THROUGH EARTH OBSERVATIONS (ECOPOTENTIAL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,

Terrestrial and marine ecosystems provide essential services to human societies. Anthropogenic pressures, however, cause serious threat to ecosystems, leading to habitat degradation, increased risk of collapse and loss of ecosystem services. Knowledge-based conservation, management and restoration policies are needed to improve ecosystem benefits in face of increasing pressures. ECOPOTENTIAL makes ...

Endocytic Membrane Compartmentalization by Galectins (GALECTCOMPART)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

The contribution of clathrin-independent endocytosis to the cellular entry of signaling receptors, cell adhesion factors, and other cell surface molecules is well documented. However, how this process is initiated is still unknown. We have recently found that a cellular lectin, galectin-3 (Gal3), entered cells via morphologically distinct tubular structures, so-called clathrin-independent carriers ...

Understanding Institutional Change: A Gender Perspective (UIC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2017,

"What are the gender dynamics of institutional change? Changing institutions is a fundamental part of the task of lessening gender inequality and yet the gender dynamics of institutional change are still poorly understood. Feminist scholars have long been interested in how to achieve the social, economic and political changes that will lessen inequality. Huge changes in some women's social and e ...

MULTI-valued and parallel molecular logic (MULTI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

MULTI replaces the familiar sequential model of computation that uses Boolean variables and combinational gates by logic operations that are executed in parallel on devices that have a built-in many state memory and whose inputs and outputs are multivalued. MULTI seeks to design, simulate and experimentally implement proof of principle devices on the atomic and molecular scale.MULTI refers to the ...

Therapeutic challenge in Leukodystrophies: Translational and ethical research towards clinical trials (LEUKOTREAT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

Leukodystrophies (LDs) are inherited rare neurodegenerative diseases of the white matter and its main component, the myelin, that are affecting predominantly children. Severity of the disease is related to the axonal dysfunction due to myelin deficiency or destruction. Despite the achievement of remarkable advances made in the past decade, there is no current curative therapy. The development of t ...

Improve Photovoltaic efficiency by applying novel effects at the limits of light to matter interaction (LIMA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The LIMA project exploits cutting edge photonic technologies to enhance silicon solar cell efficiencies with new concepts in nanostructured materials. It proposes nano-structured surface layers designed to increase light absorption in the solar cell while decreasing surface and interface recombination loss. Integration in a back contact design further reduces these interface losses and avoids s ...
