Taking extrasolar planet imaging to a new level with vector vortex coronagraphy (vortex)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Vector vortex coronagraphs (VVC) are among the most promising solutions to directly image faint extrasolar planets by dimming the glare of their nearby host star. Manufacturing and efficiently operating such devices is however a challenging enterprise, especially in the thermal infrared regime where warm planets radiate most of their energy. For several years, we have been developing a new class o ...

Silicon Nitride Coatings for Improved Implant Function (LifeLongJoints)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Articulating joint replacements represent a medical market exceeding €14 billion p.a. that is expected to rise as demographics reflect an ageing population. However, faster growth has been seen in the revision market, where prosthetic joints are replaced, than in primary interventions. The major cause of these revisions is that all joint replacements are prone to wear leading to loss of implant fu ...

Design, construction and demonstration of solar biofuel production using novel (photo)synthetic cell factories (CYANOFACTORY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

CyanoFactory brings together ten selected leading, highly complementary European partners with the aim to carry out integrated, fundamental research aiming at applying synthetic biology principles towards a cell factory notion in microbial biotechnology. The vision is to build on recent progress in synthetic biology and develop novel photosynthetic cyanobacteria as chassis to be used as self-susta ...

Re-integration of a skilled researcher through an intra-European collaboration on pathology-specific bone cements (SPINEGO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"This project aims to re-integrate a skilled researcher and strengthen the European research network in biomedical engineering.The optimal outcome is new treatment options for vertebral fractures in order to reduce the pain and improve the stability of the spine.Bone cements are frequently used to treat vertebral fractures, but may cause adjacent fractures due to their high stiffness.This is parti ...
