First Biodegradable Biocatalytic VascularTherapeutic Implants (BTVI)

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

"We aim to perform academic development of a novel biomedical opportunity: localized synthesis of drugs within biocatalytic therapeutic vascular implants (BVI) for site-specific drug delivery to target organs and tissues. Primary envisioned targets for therapeutic intervention using BVI are atherosclerosis, viral hepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma: three of the most prevalent and debilitating ...

Controlling the orientation of molecules inside liquid helium nanodroplets (DropletControl)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

In this project I will develop and exploit experimental methods, based on short and intense laser pulses, to control the spatial orientation of molecules dissolved in liquid helium nanodroplets. This idea is, so far, completely unexplored but it has the potential to open a multitude of new opportunities in physics and chemistry. The main objectives are:1) Complete control and real time monitoring ...

Soft, Small, and Smart: Design, Assembly, and Dynamics of Novel Nanoparticles for Novel Industrial Applications (NANOS3)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The proposed ITN (NanoS3) have assembled eight academic groups with complementary expertise in synthesis, modeling and characterization. They are joined by two full industrial partners active in the development of novel luminescent materials (LuminoChem), and in the home and personal care sectors (Procter and Gamble). Two associated partners will contribute to the work of our proposed network: Bio ...

Coupled Cluster Calculations on Large Molecular Systems (LCC)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

"Quantum mechanics provides the key to the understanding of the molecular world. Many years of theoretical research have made coupled cluster calculations the state-of-the-art method for small molecules, where calculations have reached an accuracy often challenging experimental results. To describe large molecular systems with coupled cluster methods, the computational scaling with the system size ...

European School of DNA Nanotechnology (EScoDNA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

DNA Nanotechnology is an emerging interdisciplinary area that will underpin the development of future nanoscience-based technologies for areas such as medicine, diagnostic tools, optics and electronics. DNA nanotechnology is based on the unique self-assembly properties of DNA which allow the rational design and synthesis of complex nanoscale structures with predictable form and function. Many othe ...

Asymmetric organocatalysts for remote functionalization strategies (REMOTECAT)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

Research in the area of aminocatalysis moves at breathtaking speed: many catalytic reactions now considered to be “standard issue” by organic chemists were almost unthinkable just 10 years ago. The development of new catalysts often makes it possible to generate previously unattainable compounds, which could have unique physical, chemical or biological properties. But the basic science is as impor ...

How oxygen regulates the structure and function of microbial ecosystems (OXYGEN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"Our project is called OXYGEN. Our aim is to develop and use cutting-edge high-sensitivity oxygen detection systems to explore how oxygen regulates the metabolism of aerobic and anaerobic organisms in experimental systems and in nature. We will explore and understand the complex structure of low oxygen ecosystems on the present Earth, and the evolution of these ecosystems through time in the fac ...

Coupled-cluster methods for theoretical X-ray spectroscopies (CCXSPEC)

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

"To complement the current rapid developments in experimental x-ray spectroscopy, exemplified by a number of new synchrotron installations both in Europe and outside Europe, a strategy for high-accuracy calculations of the relevant physical observables obtained in various modern x-ray spectroscopies is proposed. Specifically, new coupled cluster methods will be developed that allow the theoretical ...
