RD-CONNECT: An integrated platform connecting registries, biobanks and clinical bioinformatics for rare disease research (RD-CONNECT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

Despite examples of excellent practice, rare disease (RD) research is still mainly fragmented by data and disease types. Individual efforts have little interoperability and almost no systematic connection between detailed clinical and genetic information, biomaterial availability or research/trial datasets. By developing robust mechanisms and standards for linking and exploiting these data, RD-Con ...

Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research in the Southern EUropean Seas (PERSEUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The overall scientific objectives of PERSEUS are to identify the interacting patterns of natural and human-derived pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, assess their impact on marine ecosystems and, using the objectives and principles of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive as a vehicle, to design an effective and innovative research governance framework based on sound scientific knowl ...

Peptide-based diodes for solar cells (PEPDIODE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

In a solar cell that converts energy as efficient as the natural plant photosystems, electrons should travel over very short distances, through an extremely ordered structure free of traps. Guided by these principles that were worked out at WIS and CUNY, we want to synthesize many different peptides, and consecutively screen variants thereof for a putative diode function. When linked to light-harv ...

Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe (EDENext)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

To address the call for proposals 'Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe' launched by the European Commission, we want to investigate the biological, ecological and epidemiological components of vector-borne diseases (VBD) introduction, emergence and spread, and to propose innovative tools for controlling them, building on the basis of acquired knowledge. We have selected the ma ...

Strongly anisotropic Graphite-like semiconductor/dielectric 2D nanolattices (2D-NANOLATTICES)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Graphite-like 2D nanolattices of dielectrics and semiconductors with enhanced anisotropic electronic properties are good candidates to pave the way to the ultimate scaling and performances of future nanoelectronic devices. Graphene, the most studied representative of the 2D graphitic materials, has overshadowed research on other potential 2D nanolattices with totally unexplored physical properties ...

Biotechnology for Africa's sustainable water supply (WATERBIOTECH)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"More than water scarcity, diseases and civil wars, Africa is also the least wealthy continent, in terms of economic and financial resources. These combined and tightly linked problems have led to a restricted range of choices, affordable for African countries, to deal particularly with the water issue, as a major topic. Polluted water treatment before use has been their almost unique solution to ...

Influence of periodic climate changes on the evolution of mountain ranges (Geocycl)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Recent studies have highlighted complex linkages among erosion, tectonics and climate in active mountain belts. Although the exact nature of those interactions is still widely debated, clearly they have a crucial impact on the evolution of geologic systems. Furthermore, it is well known that Late Cenozoic climate oscillates between glacial and interglacial periods at time scales of 10-100 kyrs. Ye ...
