Nanometrology Standardization Methods for Magnetic Nanoparticles (NANOMAG)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

The NanoMag project is to improve and redefine existing analyzing methods and in some cases, to develop new analyzing methods for magnetic nanostructures. Using improved manufacturing technologies we will synthesize magnetic nanoparticles with specific properties that will be analyzed with a multitude of characterization techniques (focusing on both structural as well as magnetic properties) and b ...

Personalized Medicine 2020 and beyond – Preparing Europe for leading the global way (PerMed) (PERMED)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The Health Directorate of the European Commission's DG Research and Innovation recently stated that Personalized Medicine is one of the most innovative areas in the future of health research with a high potential for patients, citizens and the economy. However, today the full potential can not be developed due to fragmented activities, insufficient communication and lack of generic solutions in th ...

Magnetic Isolation and moleculaR Analysis of single CircuLating and disseminated tumor cElls on chip (MIRACLE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

Cancer remains a prominent health concern afflicting modern societies. Continuous innovations and introduction of new technologies are essential to level or even reduce current healthcare spending. As the analysis of occult tumour cells (OTC) in blood or bone marrow is most promising in this respect, MIRACLE aims to develop a low-cost, fully automated, integrated lab-on-a-chip (LOC) system for the ...

Construction kit for tailor-made vascularized boneimplants (VascuBone)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

The goal of VascuBone is to develop a “tool box” for bone regeneration, which on one hand fulfils basic requirements and on the other hand is freely combinable with what is needed in the respective patient’s situation. The tool box will include a variation of biocompatible biomaterials and cell types, FDA approved growth factors, material modification technologies, simulation and analytical tools ...

Novel high-performance enzymes and micro-organisms for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol (NEMO)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The NEMO project provides novel efficient enzymes and microbes for 2nd generation bioethanol production. It generates through metabolic engineering and mutagenesis & screening approaches robust yeast strains that have a broad substrate range and can (co-)ferment C6 and C5 sugars to ethanol with high productivity (rate and yield), and that are significantly more stress tolerant, i.e. inhibitor, eth ...

Biofunctionalized Metal and Magnetic Nanoparticles for Targeted Tumor Therapy (NANO3T)

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

The cause of diseases is often unknown, but their origin can frequently be found at the biomolecular and cellular level situated on nm-scale. Early diagnostics combined with early intervention on that nanoscale is one of the holy grail of modern medicine. Inorganic nanoparticles are very promising agents in that respect. One of the promising biomedical applications of these nanoparticles is their ...

Understanding plant diversity maintenance in a multi-species metapopulation system in highly variable fire prone environment (PLANT METAPOPULATION)

Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Oct 31, 2010,

Mediterranean-climate ecosystems (e.g. Mediterranean Basin, Southwest Australia) are biodiversity hot spots for vascular plants. Some fire adapted plant species of the Proteaecae family of the South African Cape floristic region and the Southwest Australia n sandplains, which are killed by fires (non-sprouters) and storing their seeds in canopies (serotiny), are one of the rare examples of real pl ...
